NT12NW 33 1200 2961.

(NT 1200 2961) Enclosure (NR)

OS 6" map (1966)

An oval enclosure measures 130 ft (39.6m) by 75 ft (22.9m) internally. The boulder-faced wall has been about 7 ft (2.13m) in thickness, but it is now reduced for the most part to a low stony bank in which several outer facing-stones are visible. The entrance, on the N, measures 4 ft (1.21m) in width and is revetted on either side by an earthfast boulder. Apart from two short banks of uncertain purpose, the interior is featureless.

(Information from R W Feachem notebook 1955-7, i, 77)

Generally as described by RCAHMS. The construction of the enclosure indicates that is probably of the same period as NT12NW 34.

Re-surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (WJ) 2 August 1963 and (DWR) 14 September 1972
