Re: Belton Banjo enclosure by Andy B on Monday, 01 August 2022

The Belton enclosure (NORTH-WEST LEICS, O.S.129, SK451199)
is a circular earthwork, about a kilometre south-east of
the village of Belton, west of Shepshed. It stands on the
summit of a small hill just over 80 metres high and is
approximately 100 metres in extent east to west and 80
metres north to south. The original entrance was
probably on the north-west side. An Iron Age type of
quern has been found in the enclosure ditch and Roman
pottery nearby. The area was cultivated in the Middle
Ages and there are faint traces of ridge and furrow
