NT54SE 31 570 410

The cropmarks of two enclosures has been revealed by oblique aerial photography in a field 850m SE of Chapel on Leader (NT54SE 45). The larger enclosure measures about 45m E-W by 40m transversely with a rounded SE corner and a possible entrance in this corner. A square mark is visible internally (BW 2992-93, RCAHMS 1980). The enclosure shares a common boundary on its E side with a smaller square enclosure that measures about 25m across. This site was previously classified as an enclosure. There are a number of indeterminate cropmarks around the enclosures as well as other archaeological features recorded in the immediate area (NT54SE 4, NT54SE 37, NT54SE 56, NT54SE 57, NT54SE 58 ).
