NT13SW 17 1238 3000 and 1242 3007
(NT 1240 3012) Enclosure (NR)
OS 6" map, (1967).
An enclosure, measuring 120' (36.6m) by 90' (27.4m) within a wall which now appears as a stony bank 12' (3.7m) wide, is situated 45 yds (41m) NNE of the scooped settlement NT12NW 47. The entrance, 5' (1.52m) in width, is on the W. The only feature in the interior is an isolated low bank of unknown purpose. The wall of the enclosure is broken on the SSE and NW by a small stream which now passes through the interior. Although nothing is known about the date of the enclosure, it is possible that it was contemporary with the scooped settlement.
RCAHMS 1967, visited 1956.
The entrance to the enclosure is not clear due to several mutilations. Re-surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (RDL) 16 March 1964 and (IA) 5 September 1972
