Full Description
Three turf-banked enclosures are visible on the northeast flank of the hill. Two of them enclose about 0.25 ha and the third encloses about 1 ha. The latter contains traces of broad cultivation ridges, which can be seen overriding the bank at the southeast corner. The remains were recorded by field survey by CFA in 2009 ahead of proposed windfarm development. All are defined by low banks spread circa 1-1.2 m wide and standing between 0.2 m and 0.4 m high. They are covered in dense heather. Possible rig and furrow survives within one of the enclosures.
