Enclosure in Barnhill West

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Barnhill West holds a circular enclosure and curved annexe connected by a narrow fossed track beside the ringfort. The earth has swallowed the timber and stone, but drought still draws their shadows across the farm land. People may have lived, buried or forbidden entry within those marks before the fields took them back.
