What is recorded here

At the edge of a relatively steep contour, on a SSE-facing slope, in mixed woodland. Described by Westropp (1914-16, 66) as ‘…a faint ring of small field-stones…, evidently a house-ring…’ Depicted as a circular enclosure on OS historic mapping. A circular area (16m N-S; 15m E-W) defined by the remains of a collapsed drystone wall (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 1.1m; overall Wth 3.7m). There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at E. There is no evidence of an outer fosse. The interior is open and featureless and there is intermittent tree cover. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-111----_01.jpg From NW.
