Summary

A 'D'-shaped enclosure comprising a turf-covered bank 0.6m high, with maximum dimensions of 50m by 40m. The W side is straight, and has been robbed and disturbed in places. It is on the line of one of the main elements of the reave system (SX 57 NW 106). The eastern part comprises a gentle and irregular arc. It too has been disturbed in places, probably because of the newtake wall to its immediate E.
The date of the enclosure is uncertain. However, its association with the reave system suggests a prehistoric origin.
