What is recorded here
On a narrow W-facing terrace in an area of rock outcrop and very rough grazing. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and in the RMP (1996) and mentioned by Westropp (1901, 8) as a ‘fort’ he didn’t manage to visit. On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a small subrectangular field (c. 22m E-W; 18m N-S) enclosed by a single drystone wall (H av. 1.4m; Wth 0.6-0.8m) of apparently modern construction with a small livestock pen of similar construction in the W corner.
