ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



comes slighter as it approaches the south. On the west and north-west there 

 is no fosse, and the mount is here on natural rock. 



The fosse is about lo ft. across at the north and north-east, where the 

 sides of the mount are highest, being about 1 2 ft. at the north-east. The 

 entrance is from the south, and here the mount is but about 7 ft. high. The 

 summit is slightly hollow, sloping to the south-east, and there appears by 

 the stony character of the surface to have been a rough wall round, or a 

 building upon it.

ToRVER : Bleaberry Haws. — A rampart, very similar to those on 

 Hawkshead Hall Park, extends from a hill 1000 ft. in height across a valley 

 200 ft. deep, on to the summit of another hill about 70 ft. higher than the 

 first, passing which it turns at a right angle, and after a straight run of less 

 than 200 yards, ends. 



In part of its course a stone wall is substituted for the earthen rampart. 



Hawkshead Hall Park. — Two ramparts of earth, one running north- 

 east and south-west, the other leaving it at right angles and running south- 

 east, are situated on the range of heath-grown fells, known by the name of 

 Hawkshead Hall Park, which here attain a height of about 800 ft. above 

 sea level. 



The first rampart (now not more than 2 ft. high) is nearly a quarter of 

 a mile long and about 1 1 ft. wide, with a shallow trench about 4 ft. wide on 

 its east side. The other and longer one is similar, with a trench to the south. 

 Another rampart over half a mile in length is in the immediate neighbour- 

 hood. These ramparts, if they may be so-called, do not appear to be of 

 defensive character.
