Summary
An earth and stone bank, accompanied by a ditch in places, follows a sinuous, approximately east to west course across the north-east corner of the Bagtor enclosure. At the western end, several rather spread banks lead off at right angles on the north side to form narrow strips, suggestive of early cultivation of a probable medieval date. All these banks have been cut by a later tinwork.
