Recorded monuments

• KE038-154 Enclosure
  Description

  'Located on a limestone reef in an area of grassland, which affords extensive panoramic views on all sides, the aspect to south and west being especially spectacular. This reef is now very overgrown with small bushes and scrub. At least three circular enclosures of earth and stone can be discerned as well as at least two mounds of stone, one large and one considerably smaller. A short linear bank of earth and stone also occurs on the reef...... a circular enclosure 13.0m in diameter, which may use a portion of the above earthwork [KE038-159----] as its northern enclosing element. The average width of the enclosing bank is 1.50m delimiting a central area 10.0m in diameter. This central area has a hollowed out appearance, being 1.10m below the crest of the enclosing element. Access to this central area may have been by means of a 1.75m break in the bank at west. Externally the bank is 0.30m in height.'

  Description

  'Located on a limestone reef in an area of grassland, which affords extensive panoramic views on all sides, the aspect to south and west being especially spectacular. This reef is now very overgrown with small bushes and scrub. At least three circular enclosures of earth and stone can be discerned as well as at least two mounds of stone, one large and one considerably smaller.
