NT60NE 6 6570 0801.
(NT 6570 0801) Enclosure (NR)
OS 6" map, (1963).
Situated on a strip of uncultivated moorland, this circular enclosure measures 102' in diameter within a ruined boulder-faced earthen wall 6' thick and not more than 2' high. Traces of quarry-ditch can be seen round the outside of the wall and an entrance, 6' wide, opens towards the sike. The only internal feature is a scooped hollow, now waterlogged, immediately inside the entrance.
(RCAHMS 1956, visited 1948).
A circular enclosure built on sloping ground and comprising an earth-and-stone wall, with occasional faces, 1.5m thick. The entrance is in the SE and leads to a small stream. It is clearly a stock enclosure and the sharp profile of the bank suggests that it may not be of any great age.
