(NT 829 654) Circular enclosure, situated in 'Camps Field'. (Visible on air photographs OS 65.2: 681-2).
Information from OS recorder (GSL) 13 December 1965.
NT 8291 6541. The large cropmark visible on these air photographs is possibly a water mark around the base of a low hillock. However, on top of this hillock, at NT 8294 6541, is an oval depression measuring 25.0m NW-SE by 21.0m transversely and about 0.5m deep, which may represent the site of a small enclosure. The site has been recently ploughed.
Visited by OS (WDJ), 2 February 1966.
Cropmarks reveal an enclosure, possibly a settlement, situated on a low knoll 800m SE of Renton Barns; it is roughly circular on plan, measuring about 60m in diameter within a ditch 3m broad.
RCAHMS 1980, flown 1976.
