New Pieces Enclosure

A roughly sub-oval enclosure 56m -54m, set on a S facing hillside, about 240m SE of the Breiddin Hillfort. It is defined by one or two lines of widely spaced collapsed stone ramparts now grassed over. Excavations in 1935 produced Romano British material from the late 1st-4th century.

The enclosure has been associated with the field system between it and the Breiddin Hillfort.
