This section concerns the eight records in the SWAAG database allocated to the Category Enclosures. There are so few because the definition of an enclosure is very broad, and most of those studied by SWAAG have been defined more precisely and categorised accordingly.

Enclosures – The first and last record in this PDF (nos. 41 and 960) are related to the wider study of multiple features on Reeth High and Low Moors, which can be found in the section Archaeology/Moor Surveys or by clicking here: Reeth High and Low Moors. The second record in the file is an appreciation by Tim Laurie of the Historic England scheduled ancient monument site of Castle Dykes Henge, Aysgarth, Wensleydale.
