Archaeology Notes

The enclosure at NH 7153 7621 is as described above. It is ill-defined, but the inner ditch appears to be 3.0m wide and 0.1m deep. A 3.0m wide gap in the WSW may be an entrance or possibly later mutilation. The enclosure superficially resembles some hengiform sites, but the remains are too poorly defined for certain classification.

Surveyed at 1:2500.

Visited by OS (J B) 23 February 1981.
