Shaw Hill, Calkin NY 304 883 NY38NW 2
On the sloping NE shoulder of Shaw Hill there is an oval settlement measuring 68m by 53m within double banks and medial ditch (up to 5.5m broad and 1.6m deep). Little trace of the outer bank survives on the uphill (WSW) side, where the ditch and inner bank are largest, and there are entrances on the NNW and ENE respectively. The NW quadrant of the interior has been incorporated into what is probably a secondary enclosure measuring 28m by 26m internally. RCAHMS 1981, visited January 1981
