Full Description
K37 (NL669997) Badly robbed and damaged circular stone structure, diam. 10 m. The structure lies on a slope and the bottom end is 2 m below the top end, and in a boggy hollow. The structure is represented by the remains of a roughly built wall 0.8 m wide around the upper western arc, but is reduced to a scatter of stone blocks, still on the circuit line, on the east. We believe it was robbed out to build a substantial sheep wall that runs about 10 m to the est of the structure. Mediaeval or early modern pen.
