The National Monuments Service's description
Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) on the basis of hachuring on the 1922 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and a reference to a levelled fort in this area (Westropp 1917, 5). The fort in question is in fact CL041-166----. The hachuring is on the 25-inch OS map and is named ‘Gravel pit – disused’. On inspection in 2000 a slight hollow from an old quarry was visible.
