Enclosure covering 0.2hectares in area containing at least one hut circle. A linear feature is attached to its southern wall. Two other linear features seem to be associated: 1. SX67726826: a length of bank that is not quite attached to the enclosure, 2. SX67826825: a length of bank, again, not attached to the enclosure, but incorporating a hut circle.

Enclosure 'B' at 'Snowdon Brook North' is roughly rectangular. A curved bank runs out from the perimeter towards Snowdon Brook to the south and northwards some stray banks, including what seems to be part of a circular Enclosure 'C', may have continued to the River Mardle. A single Hut Circle '2' is included in the circuit with another (Hut Circle '3') to the north joined by a short bank.
