An earthen bank divides the outer Bagtor enclosure. A disused earthwork field bank, which may have served as an earlier western outer boundary of the Bagtor enclosure or as a sub-division of it. The southern portion of the bank, about 325m long, has a stone element in its construction but the remaining northern extension is turf only, and may have been robbed of stone or never completed. It becomes difficult to follow across the mire at the head of Bagtor Brook but is clearer to the north. Partly lost in the mire but condition is stable. SX75350 75800.
