Enclosure in Ayle Lower

In a level expanse of raised bog with reasonable views of the surrounding countryside. This enclosure was identified as an oval variation in vegetation growth on Bing satellite imagery (https://binged.it/2mwT7K1, Accessed 6 March 2017). It consists of an oval area (16m N-S; 12m E-W) defined by the remains of a low bank (H 0.25m; Wth 3.3m) which is accentuated by a dense ring of bog myrtle E-W and a distinct, yet more sparse ring of bog myrtle W-E. There is occasional heather amongst the ring of bog myrtle. There appears to be a probable fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.1m) around the exterior, where it is poorly drained and covered in sphagnum moss. The interior is generally level and is covered by bog cotton and low heather, much like the exterior. Enclosure (CL027-052----) is c. 38m to NNW.
