Designed landscape feature in Somerset

In pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an enclosed roughly triangular-shaped tree plantation; a N-S running roadway lies immediately to the W. On the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) the enclosing wall is subcircular in plan, curving from NNW through E to S, and hachures are depicted off the wall from NE to S. On the 1946-7 revision of the 6-inch map only a line of hachures is shown curving from NNE to S; all the trees have been cleared away. On inspection in April 1983 only a natural mound of no archaeological significance was noted. The cartographic evidence suggests that this was most likely a landscape feature.
