Full Description

73
NB 1906 4410 13 metres O.D.
Enclosure
This small circular enclosure measures 2 m in diameter and is infilled with many smaller stones. It is likely that this monument represents an elaborate field clearance scheme designed to prevent cleared stone from spreading back on to fields. It is possible that this structure had an earlier useage now obscured by the infill.
