Title:140623
Originator:Gerrard, S.
Date:1995
Summary:Vermin trap situated against a prehistoric field boundary includes two lengths of rubble walling, forming a V-shaped trap, pointing towards a field boundary. The position of the trap suggests that it was designed to capture vermin using the field boundary for access to the warren. The trapping area no longer survives above the ground surface, but would have originally been sited at the point where the 2 lengths of walling converge. The S arm measures 6.5m long, 1.8m wide and 0.9m high, whilst the W arm is 4.3m long, 1.4m wide and 0.8m high.
