(22/07/2020) Reave and associated features visited and recorded in project. Condition assessed by volunteer recorder as good; although vegetation encroachment is affecting site. Cattle, sheep and ponies are free to roam over this ground, but appear to be causing little visible damage. Site lies in area of dense clitter and is covered In bracken. Also, Stanlake Plantation is nearby, and there are self-seeded conifers in the area, though not within the settlement itself.
Photographs taken of what is assumed to be MDV50103, the enclosure wall could not be detected.
