What is recorded here
Slighty below the crest of hills on the SW side of a valley, in rolling grassland with good views. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map this is indicated as a small sub-rectangular field, which is depicted on the 1900 revision as being more circular (diam. c. 50m), though it appears to be composed of short lengths of straight walling. The enclosure was levelled in the mid-20th century. It is described locally as having been enclosed by a wall 5 feet [1.5m] high and 5 feet [1.5m] thick, with a slight slope from N-S. This enclosure may have been a small field or haggard associated with the farmyard immediately to the NW. It is not visible at ground level and is now occupied by farm buildings.
