Enclosure in Hundred Acres

In reclaimed pasture in limestone terrain. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map, but visible in aerial imagery. This monument was levelled in the past. Its original form is now uncertain. It appears to have been circular (diam. approx. 15-18m). The remains consist of a low D-shaped rise or mound (c. 15m E−W; c. 8m N−S) with poorly defined broadly sloped sides on the curving S side, and bordered on the straight N side by an E−W drystone field wall, which rises up over the contours of the mound. On the E edge of the mound, a stone bank or mound (Wth c. 6m E−W, 2m N−S; H 0.75m) protrudes from beneath the E-W field wall, possibly a remnant of an original enclosing wall/bank.
