What is recorded here
Situated on a low rise in gently undulating pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Two enclosures. Adjoining the E part of the first (SL019-095001-) is the second enclosure. This comprises an almost D-shaped area (dims. 20.5m N-S; 17m E-W) with a more poorly preserved enclosing wall (Wth. 1.8m - 4m; int. H 0.2m) than that of the first enclosure. Extending NE-SW through the interior, slightly N of centre, is a low SE-facing scarp (H 0.55m). A poorly defined break (Wth. 1m) in the NE wall of the first enclosure and the NW of this enclosure, was probably the location of the entrance between the two.
