(07/03/1988) Two earth and stone banks extend from SX 64547506 to SX 64697510 and SX 64657502 to SX 64707504 (Greeves, 1982). Both are about 2.2m wide and 0.5m high. The Northernmost bank possesses a very slight ditch on its S margin. An extension of the N bank to the E of the Dunnabridge/Sherberton dividing wall, shown on the RCHME APU transcription (1985) is not visible on the ground. The central bank depicted as running N-S (SX 64607512 to 64627500) is also undetectable and may simply be a vegetation mark.
