ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



in the ground ; and at the south-west the fosse has been destroyed by a 

 broad clearance, which would appear to have been made for obtaining the 

 supplementary soil required for the formation of the mount, the excavation 

 of the fosse yielding an in- 

 sufficient amount for that 

 purpose. 



Indications of a bailey 

 appear on the northern side 

 of the mount, the fosse having 

 sprung from that of the 

 mount on the eastern and 

 western extremities of the 

 axis, and the ' Gull,' the bed 

 of a winding stream, being 

 utilized for the same purpose 

 on the north and the north- 

 east. Another fosse branches 

 from that of the mount on 

 the south side, and evidently 



formed a large inclosure with the stream as the eastern boundary. This is 

 of a later date, and within the area various mediaeval implements, horse 

 furniture, and jewellery have been found.
