(ND 0203 5721) Enclosure (NR) OS 6"map, (1963)
A circular enclosure, overgrown with turf, heather and reeds, lying on the slope of the hillside. It measures 17m in diameter within a low bank spread from 2.5-4.5m and 0.2 -0.5m high. The position of the entrance is unclear. The date and purpose are uncertain, but it appears to be of some antiquity, probably a post-medieval animal fold associated with the rectangular field to the NW.
Surveyed at 1:10560, revised at 1:10,000.
Visited by OS (J B) 23 July 1981.
