MHG1435 - Possible Enclosure or Hut Circle, Clardon Hill

Summary

Possible enclosure or hut circle. The ruined state of the feature does not enable easy classification.

Type and Period (2)

Protected Status

Full Description

Set in a NW-facing slope in a field, are the remains of an enclosure. Only the N half is evident, as a turf-covered wall spread at most pronounced 2.5m broad by 0.1m high internally, 0.6m high externally. The course of the wall elsewhere has either been ploughed-out or is obscured by stone-dumping. A depression in the N arc suggests an entrance position. This may be a hut circle, but there are insufficient remains to enable classification.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (J M) 1 October 1981.
