More information : A sub-circular hilltop enclosure and a ditch are visible as cropmarks and low earthworks on air photos taken in 1995 at NY5088 4189. The enclosure is likely to be of Iron Age or Roman date, the date of the ditch is not known. The enclosure is bisected by a modern field boundary. In 1995 the section of circuit that lay to the west of the boundary appeared to survive as a low earthwork but by 2009 it appears that all parts had been levelled.
The enclosure is defined by a broad ditch, measures 70m in diameter and has an east facing entrance. It is located on a north-facing slope of a hill overlooking a small valley and across to a similar enclosure (see UID 1454250). (1-2)
