What is recorded here

This record was formerly classed as an 'enclosure' in both the SMR (1990) and the RMP (1997). According to the field inspection report, it is a 'ring [c. 6m] of loose rough stone with a dip in the centre', possibly non-archaeological (SMR file). It is shown as a circle on the first edition OS 6-inch map where it is abutted by four field boundaries. Though the field boundaries have been removed, the enclosure is still extant. Because of the uncertainty in relation to the nature and classification of this monument, its class has been changed to 'enclosure possible'.
