What is recorded here

On a rise on the floor of an E-W valley. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Sub-triangular grass and scrub-covered area (int. dims. 26.5m E-W; 22.4m N-S) with a straight side at E and an acute angle at the SW. It is defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) W-N, a stone spread (Wth c. 3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.7m) at N, and a re-built but overgrown wall (Wth c. 2m; H 1m) N-SE. At S the wall is obscured by spoil. There are modern entrances at ESE (Wth 1.1m) and at NE, where the original width of the wall (1.8m) can be seen with original facing stones. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 May 2016
