What is recorded here
In a dense thicket of blackthorn and brambles, located on a hill.
This enclosure is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch maps as a D-shaped embanked enclosure (c. 35m E−W; c. 20m N−S) bordered on the straight side to S by a road, probably representing the N half of an originally circular enclosure, the S half of which was truncated by the road. It is not shown on later map editions.
The location of the enclosure is at least partly encompassed within a sub-rectangular field (c. 30m N–S; c. 25m E−W) enclosed by a stone field fence; this field is engulfed in impenetrable overgrowth and could not be inspected examined. There is no visible trace of the enclosure in either of the adjoining fields to W and E.
