(14/06/1996) SX 6266 9059. Simple sub-circular enclosure forming part of a discrete concentration of structures which together with other nucleations form a large settlement complex. The enclosure survives as 95 metres by 90 metres area defined by a rubble wall with occasional orthostats measuring 1.4 metres wide and 0.7 metres high. One hut circle is attached to the inner face of the enclosure wall, one is linked to it and a further two lie within its circuit. A short length of the south-west side of the enclosure has been removed by tin streamworking within the small brook valley.
