• CL018-052 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle NW-facing slope in pasture. Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. A flat, grass-covered area (diam. c. 50m) defined by a slight scarp down to the interior from E to S, by a mound of spoil SW-NW with farm sheds at N and a straight field boundary at NE. The scarp is visible on Google Earth (imagery date 27 November 2010). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 19 November 2025

• CL019-033 Megalithic structure
  Description

  In a gentle basin, in very rough pasture and scrub with moderate views SE-SW and obscured by woodland to W and by forestry in the foreground N-SE. A substantial stone formation (L 4m E-W; 2.5m N-S; H 2.2m) consisting of four large stones arranged haphazardly and resting on two earthfast, moss-covered rocks (to E and W). The largest stone is substantial and occupies the western side of the formation. It rests on top of the western earthfast rock. Two short stones forming the eastern side rest on top of the eastern earthfast rock. They lean in toward the largest stone and rest on its eastern side. They appear to have derived from one stone which has fractured along a natural cleavage plane. An irregular megalith ‘caps’ the structure. The potential gallery area is limited in size and the two earthfast rocks forming the base of this feature would inhibit internment of burials. According to local information, this is referred to as the ‘big rock’. There is a lot of rock outcrop across this area and some unusual formations. It is uncertain if this is a manmade megalithic structure or if it is potentially an unusual example of post-glacial deposition. The following images have been uploaded: CL019-033----_01.jpg From SW.
