Abstract: |
A walk-over survey undertaken on 10 February 2012 around the proposed site of a new sub-station identified the remains of a large enclosure on open moorland some 2.5km N of Minard. It was defined by a fragmentary stone and turf bank, 0.8m wide and up to 0.6m high and measured perhaps 200m across although its limits were difficult to determine. On 12 March 2012 three sections were cut across the bank in order to establish its construction which was confirmed as being of turf and boulders. No dating evidence was recovered. The feature is interpreted as a stock enclosure of probable pre-Improvement age and perhaps contemporary with field systems depicted on an estate plan of 1839. |
