NS 9828 7148. This near circular ditched enclosure, situated on a slight slope, is generally as described. Its date and purpose are not clear but it has been by-passed by rig-and-furrow. There has been mining activity in the area but it is difficult to associate this feature with mining.

Surveyed at 1:2500.
