Enclosure

Located on a N-facing slope overlooking the valley of the W-E Glyde River, and clearly visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021). The cropmark of a large subcircular enclosure (dims c. 85m E-W; c. 75m N-S) defined by a continuous fosse can be traced WSW-N-ESE. It is cut by an E-W field bank S of the centre and is not visible in the crop S of this feature. A rectangular field (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 35-55m E-W) is attached to the perimeter at N, and a crescent-shaped enclosure (Wth c. 10-20m) is attached outside the defining fosse of the large enclosure SW-N-NE, from where another drain curves out to the N and E (Chord c. 65m E-W). The cropmarks of drains associated with mapped fields can be seen further N. The features were first reported by Anthony Murphy.
