Enclosure

What is recorded here

An enclosure encircling the summit of quite a steep, roughly circular hill, situated in an area of outcrop, in rough pasture. Most of the summit is covered in thicket. The enclosure is defined in the S quadrant by a low earthen scarp (H 0.4) for a length of 18m. There is no visible trace above ground of the E and W quadrants. On the N side there is a drop (D 0.75m) due to rock outcrop which forms a terrace (L 17m). The monument is indicated as circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m N-S; c. 37m E-W) on 1st (1840) and 2nd (1907) ed. OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 November 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
