(NX 1842 9578) Cropmarks of enclosure.
Shalloch Hill is a prominent knoll, but with easy approach on all sides and a broad, generally level, top at about 200ft OD, under a permanent rough pasture.
There are no surface indications of the enclosure cropmark, which appears from the air photograph to be sub-circular and over 30m in diameter and formed, possibly, by twin palisade trenches less than 1.0m wide.
Visited by OS (JRL) 14 April 1977
Recent aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) has led to this site being re-interpretated as a palisaded settlement. The cropmarks of at least five pits are scattered within it. A series of linear cropmarks, probably field boundaries (NX19NE 48), and the cropmarks of a quarry (NX19NE 63) have been recorded immmediately to the S.
