| Name: | Enclosure to the north-east of Plym Steps, Shaugh Prior |
|---|
Summary
The enclosure survives as a 2.5m wide and 0.5m high partly lynchetted rubble bank leading in an arc from a stone hut circle which appears to predate the enclosure. The eastern side of the enclosure survives as a buried feature beneath deep peat deposits and consequently the dimensions of the internal area could not be established.
