Full Description

VN10 (NL624975) Roughly semicircular enclosure 22 m diam., with a (now) discontinuous stone wall and a straight earth and stone bank completing the circuit. There is a raised mound in the centre about 5 x 3 m with two stone blocks set on one edge. This appears to be robbed and grassed-over shelter, probably of type C.
