What is recorded here
Situated on a very slight rise in average pasture land on the landscaped demesne of Newcastle House 200m to N, the tree-lined driveway leading up to the house is located immediately W of the site. Tower House (WM003-001----) 90m to NW. Small roughly circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 20m N-S) defined by a the slight remains of a low earthen bank mainly reduced to a scarp and traces of a shallow external fosse with possible entrance gap at SSE. The interior is fairly even and featureless with a very slight slope from W to E. Not depicted as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Its close proximity to Newcastle House may suggest that this circular feature was a possible tree-ring associated with the landscaping of the demesne.
