Full description
Royal Air Force, 1947, RAF/CPE/UK/2149, 3424-6 (Aerial Photograph). SDV282746.
Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division, 1951/1980, SX67SE66, Plan (Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division Card). SDV277636.
(14/11/1951) Remains of pound. Slight slopes are apparent to the north.
(18/03/1980) On a north-east slope at 318m. OD is a ruined wall, formed mainly of large boulders extending for 70m. (see plan and GP).
To the east and south it is overlaid by modern walling. The original plan would have been sub-oval enclosure some 65m. E to W and 37m. N to S. The roughly levelled interior has some natural boulders but no other features. Its general plan and appearance suggests a small pre-historic enclosure or pound.
Surveyed at 1:2500 on MSD.
