What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a gentle N-facing slope. Ground falls away gradually to N to an expanse of flat boggy pasture. Much of the rising ground to S is under coniferous plantation. Sub-circular area (diam. c. 20-25m) enclosed by a roughly built drystone wall (Wth c. 0.8m; int. H 0.5-1m; ext. H 0.5-0.8m) incorporated into a radiating system of field walls. The interior area is not noticeably raised. Overgrowth impeded examination of this enclosure: The perimeter is ringed with blackthorn and hawthorn, and an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn and brambles cloaks the interior. Cultivation ridges, on a NE-SW axis, are visible in the adjacent field to W. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 July 2020
