NG09NW 9 0422 9719.

On the summit of Aird Nisabost at 61m OD is a circular enclosure measuring c. 60 yards in diameter, formed by a bank and ditch. The bank measures c. 8ft wide and c.4ft above the ditch, beyond which are traces of another, but slighter bank.

Information contained in letter from J W Dickson Stow House

Westerfield, Ipswich, Suffolk, (Ref:D/111) to RCAHMS 30 June 1984.

Further bank-and-ditch enclosures are located adjacent to the circular one described above. Visible on aerial photographs lodged in the NMRS (E95149-50PO), the enclosures were probably used for agriculture, and are arranged around the summit of Aird Nisabost. Other enclosures are visible to the N (NG09NW 20) and the W (NG09NW 19).
