OS 6" map (1964)
NT 393 380. Situated on slightly rising ground between Shaw Plantation and Craig Plantation are the remains of what appear to be two enclosures.
The southernmost enclosure measures c. 20.0m in diameter, being scooped into the slope on its SE side. It is formed by a slight bank of earth and stone, 4.0m wide by 0.5m high on the W side. There is an entrance 2.6m wide in the NW segment. The site, much dilapidated, and used as a refuse tip, has been quarried, and in fact may be such a feature.
There are only fragmentary remains of the second possible enclosure, a silage pit and forestry accounting for its virtual destruction.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 27 June 1961 and 18 January 1966
Neither of these features appears to be an antiquity. The first may be the partially filled remains of a quarry and the second a small rectangular enclosure of relatively recent date, contemporary with a hollow trackway which runs to the W of it.
Visited by OS (JP) 24 October 1974.
