Monument record MHG24524 - Femnock Wood

NH44SE 21 496 403 and 495 406

45 yards from the layby and in Fenock Wood there is what may be a wooden henge site of slightly oval shape. It is an almost circular enclosure 15 to 17 yards in diameter, measuring from the top of the rampart. This rampart, which appears to consist of soil, has been very substantial and is 5 yards broad at the base and 2 feet high in the best section. There does not appear to have been an outer ditch and an entrance cannot be identified. 200 yards to the N.W. there appear to be faint traces of a less substantial but similar earthwork which could have an entrance. It is 11 yards in diameter. Also 70 yards in the same direction is a small oval mound. Also to the N.W. at OS 495406 there is a mound 8 yards in diameter and 2 to 3 feet high. Further N.E. there are 2 other smaller mounds. Down from the layby and in the wood close to, and at a slight angle to the road, are the remains of crude walling consisting of large stones. <1>
