Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated encompassing the summit of a substantial hill. Depicted on the 1837 editon of the OS 6-inch map as a large subcircular or oval-shaped enclosure (c. 155m NNW-SSE; c. 125m ENE-WSW) defined by a field boundary. A house and accompanying garden are depicted truncating the E side. A NE-SW laneway is shown, dividing the enclosure into two approximately equal portions. The enclosure is not marked on the 1913 map. Remains comprise a raised circular area defined by widely sloping sides. How much of the enclosing element is artificial and how much the naturally-occurring slope of the hill is unknown. Centrally located within the interior is a smaller earthwork (SL016-033----) topped with a trigonometrical station. Possible quarry at E. Compiled by: Patrick F.
