(NT 6508 0684) Earthwork (NR)
OS 6"map, (1963).
This oval earthwork measures 220' N-S by 180' E-W, surrounded by a ruined wall of earth and stone spread to a width of 18' and now nowhere more than 1' in height.
There is an entrance gap at the N end. The work has no defensive quality and may have been a stock enclosure.
A plantation covers the site.
RCAHMS 1956, visited 1948.
The remains of this earthwork, which is as described above, are too badly mutilated to allow a positive classification, but its situation is typical of many Iron Age settlements in this area.
Visited by OS(IA) 13 July 1973.
No change to previous information.
