Nun Hill Iron Age or Roman enclosure (Belsay)

An Iron Age or Roman period enclosure is visible as an earthwork on air photographs at NZ 1137 7715. Only the southern part of the enclosure can be seen, it is defined by a broad bank flanked by narrow ditches. A fragment of ditch abutting the south-east corner suggests that it was aligned on a field boundary. It is similar in form to another enclosure to the north-west (HER 10935) so is likely to be of similar date. (1)(3a)
