Enclosure in Riddlestown

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Circular area (34m N-S; 36m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank with vertical stone facing (H 1.4m; Wth 0.8m) on the outside; Top of bank is flat topped (Wth 2m) and then slopes gradually down (H 1.3m; Wth 4.8m) towards interior. Break in enclosing element at SE (Wth 2.7m) has been blocked-up; a second break at NE (Wth 3m) has straight sides which appear to be of recent manufacture. At foot of stone facing E->SSW is a flat-topped berm (Wth 3.8m; H 0.35m); this fades out at E but terminated at SSW where a recent gateway abuts against stone facing. Level interior under pasture and slopes down gently to S. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
