| Name: | Gully or animal run, Trowlesworthy Warren |
|---|
Summary
Animal run survives as a V-shaped gully situated within a partially enclosed hut settlement. Each arm measures 12m long, 1m wide and 0.2m deep. Material upcast during its construction forms a 1m wide and 0.2m high bank on the downslope side. This gully probably represents part of a complex system of animal runs in which rabbits and vermin could have been trapped.
