Unexcavated circular earthworks on Midgley moor. Very close to both Miller's Grave and the Wicken Hill enclosure. Date uncertain.
This site is recorded as Pastscape Monument No 1454496, which says: "A circular ditch of uncertain function or date is visible as an earthwork on the south-west fringe of Midgely Moor. The circle is approximately 22 metres in diameter and has a slight upcast exterior bank. Located concentrically within the circle is a second circle, of approximately 10 metres diameter, defined by a very slight ditch. The outer ditch is quite clean cut and incised which may indicate a more recent origin."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page on this site - see their entry for Foster Clough Delph, Midgley Moor, West Yorkshire which has directions for finding this site together with photographs, aerial images and a brief archaeology & history.
