NY19SW 14 1161 9140

NY1160 9141. Situated at the foot of the promontory on which NY19SW 13 stands, but still overlooking a slight slope to the W, are the remains of a small enclosure. It consists of a flat bottomed ditch, L-shaped in plan, measuring c. 5.0 to 7.0m wide by 0.5m deep, with an upcast bank on the interior c. 1.0m high serves to drain surface water from the amorphous remains of a stone building or hut that lies within it to the W.

This has the appearance of having been a homestead, possibly contemporary with the probable settlement nearby(NY19SW 4).

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (R D), 5 January 1972.
