| Name: | Enclosure at Trowlesworthy Warren |

Summary
The fragmentary remains of a sub-circular enclosure, bisected by the clayworks leat. Enclosure measures 42m north-south by 31m and is bounded by stony banks a maximum of 0.3m high. There is no evidence to suggest the former presence of any hut circles within this feature, which suffered from extensive stone robbing during the construction of the leat. Further cluster of similarly disturbed banks 50m to the north-west may represent the remains of several additional enclosures.

There is no evidence to suggest the former presence of any hut circles within this feature, which suffered from extensive stone robbing during the construction of the leat.
Some 50 m to the north-west at SX 5222 6454 is a cluster of similarly disturbed banks perhaps representing the remains of several additional enclosures.
