| Record Name | Large enclosure with additional items |
| Record Description | On the plateau of Ellerton Moor (height between 322 and 335 metres) this is a large, roughly rectangular, area bordered by a low mound with some visible, mainly large, stones. The mounds rarely extend beyond 2mtrs in width, normally a metre, and the occasional stone is often large and always single layer. The NE corner is very close to a standing stone (see record 821). The NW corner has a continuation to the NE (see the plan below).
This record is to ensure the evidence that is visible, with much of the heather either burned or very young, is preserved. |

| Image 1 Description | A simple plan of the site giving approximate lengths and the heights of the corners and the pile of stones. Note that between the SE and NE corners there is an elbow that helps the side of the enclosure avoid marshy ground. |  |

| Image 5 Description | This is the view from the SW corner (SE 06010 96661)looking to the E |  |
| Image 6 ID | 6093 Click image to enlarge |
| Image 6 Description | This is the view from the SE (SE 06063 96646) corner looking to the N, which does include the elbow (SE 06080 96661) noted earlier. The marshy area can be seen to the E and it is that which necessitates the elbow. However it is reasonable to ask why, especially as the "wall" has a considerable curve from the elbow to the NE corner, the "wall" did not run straight from the SE corner to NE corner. |  |
