The drystone bank was exposed across the width of the trench, with well-preserved exterior (north) face the southern extent was badly disturbed and consequently the (Plate 14); original width of the bank difficult to estimate; nevertheless, it was probably c. 1.20m wide. The bank/wall base was not exposed. The bank was of dry-stone character and largely composed of medium sized sub-angular to sub-round stones. Spreading from the bank towards was a stony deposit mostly consisting of [402] [403], medium sized sub-angular to sub-round stones, but including some larger sized ones, mixed with medium dark brown silty clay and heavily bioturbated by roots from the shrubs. The deposit was interpreted as deriving partially from the natural erosion of the bank and deliberate levelling episode aimed at making the ground outside the current cemetery wall more regular. A single fragment of roofing slate was recovered from the deposit.
