An interesting site, if only for the lack of features. What we have here is a square embanked enclosure, approx 200 yards on a side, with (entrance?) gaps at the corners on the eastern side. I didn't enter the site itself - there are no information signs and the gates to adjoining fields were locked - although the wall is easily surmountable as a section is being repaired completely out of keeping by the application of a slab of flat concrete on top rather than drystone.
The enclosure commands excellent cross-country views to the south and east, but the ground rises to the north obstructing the view in that direction.This post appears as part of the weblog entry A quick spin round Oxon |
