Full Description

Lying immediately to the north of the forest access track, under a small Sycamore copse, is a well preserved, stone built, enclosure dyke. The dyke lies on a SW - NE alignment and survives to a maximum of 1m high. To the SE of the dyke is a small, circular pen 1.5m in diameter, which survives as a single course of small boulders. Between the pen and the access road is a much disturbed field clearance cairn. <1>
