Bradda Enclosure

Archaeology

An alleged stone circle has been reported in this area. At SC 19927149 a "Circle of small stones about.... foot diameter in stony area.' has been noted.  The site and its vicinity is on land falling precipitously to the north where survey would be difficult. When visited conditions for field investigation were ideal as much as the heather and grass had been burnt off beforehand, but though the area was closely examined no trace of a circle was found among the numerous erratic boulders. Owing to the steepness of the slope it is doubtful if a circle of archaeological interest ever existed here. Several visits have failed to find any evidence of the reported stone circle.
