In a level expanse of raised bog with reasonable views of the surrounding countryside. This enclosure was identified as an oval variation in vegetation growth on aerial photography (https://binged.it/2mXNhyD and https://binged.it/2mwT7K1, Accessed 6 March 2017). It consists of a roughly circular area (diam. 10m) defined by a low bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth 3.5m) accentuated by a ring of bog myrtle and heather. The bank is best preserved NE-SW where it is higher. The interior is generally level and is covered by bog cotton and occasional low heathers. There appears to be a probable fosse (Wth 2m; H 0.1m) around the exterior, where it is poorly drained and covered in sphagnum moss. Enclosure (CL027-051----) is c. 38m to SSE.
