**East Moor Enclosure** submitted by Bladup : The slight remains of the curve in the D of the D shaped East Moor Enclosure (Vote or comment on this photo)

To the northwest of the cairns and row blocking stone on the top of the hill in middle East Moor, can be found the remains of a prehistoric enclosure, said to be in the shape of a “D” and made up of small stones mostly hidden under the turf.

I have read that this is very difficult to find, so just had a quick look for this but found nothing obvious, and didn’t spend much time looking.
