What is recorded here
In pasture, located on the broad, level top of an E–W ridge. There is a industrial complex 80m to S.
This possible enclosure is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1929 edition map as an oval hachured area (c. 50m E–W; c. 30m N–S). When inspected prior to a land reclamation project in 1961, it was recorded as an 'earthen embankment' which was deemed to be of no archaeological significance (SMR file: OPW field notes, 1961). There is no visible trace at ground level.
