  Description

  In pasture, on level low-lying terrain. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m), immediately to W of field boundary, has been levelled.

• LI019-154 Enclosure
  Description

  In scrub-covered area, on low-lying level terrain. Site depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as roughly rectangular enclosure (20m N-S; 25m E-W) is now inaccessible due to dense vegetation cover.

  Description

  In pasture, at S end of low limestone ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, is now largely covered by dense overgrowth. However, as far as could be ascertained site is enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (ext. H 0.75m). This is similar in construction to surrounding field boundaries, which abut it at SW, NW and NE. According to local information inside this is scarped edge defining circular area. A field boundary which abutted enclosure at SE has been removed so that site now occupies NW corner of large pasture field. Field clearance boulders have been dumped along external face of earth-and-stone bank at E. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
