Looking uphill towards the Blocking Stone of the stone row. This is the western end of the enclosure.

East Moor Enclosure

Enclosure

Mr Hamhead Jul 11, 2004

This is a sod to find!
Down on the edge of the grassy area, north of the ring cairn and the blocking stone sits this archaeological mystery. It is supposed to be the shape of a D but I only found the curved bit. There are supposed to be 42 visible stones but none of them are more than 10 cm high! The Cornwall Archaeological Unit claim it to be a ritual enclosure..or at least they did in 1994.
