MEM24532 - Possible undated semicircular enclosure at Black Gate (Monument)

A semi circular enclosure with internal elevations was noted on Lidar data. The interior of the enclosure is lower than the surrounding ridge and may show two pit like structures. The feature may have been obscured by later activity.

Lidar data of the site appears to show a semi circular enclosure on a broadly flat topped ridge, 50 metres east to west and 55 metres north to south, with internal elevations. The interior of the enclosure is lower than the surrounding ridge and may show two pit like structures. The feature may have been obscured by later activity; it is possible that an unusual combination of the ridge topography and very damaged lynchets could produce such a circular structure but this was not thought to be the case here.
