- WM032-031 Enclosure
Description
Monument surveyed by ASI in 1971 and described as following; 'Almost completely demolished. According to the 1914 ed. OS 6-inch map it was rectilinear and a small portion of a steep earth and stone scarp (H 1.8m) survives just inside the modern road side fence on the E side, elsewhere, the scarp has been levelled. The original entrance way is not recognisable. The interior area rises appreciably towards the centre. There are small irregular undualtions on the site which are probably due to the uneven spreading of the material of the enclosure. The site is on the top of a natural rise which is steep on the N, W and S side. The site is overlooked by a higher adjacent ridge on the SE. There are excellent views to the SW and W’ (SMR File 12/07/1971). The enclosure is not depicted as an antiquity on the first ed. OS 6-inch map.
