Image of Castle, Nr Reeth (Enclosure) by BrigantesNation

this is the enclosure looking down from the hill above. From this angle it looks a lot less circular than when you are on a level with it. The meandering nature of the feature creates a definite early Iron Age feel – I’d suggest a lot earlier, given that this lead mining region saw it’s first period of expansion early in the Bronze Age.
