In good pastureland, originally part of the estate of Annefield House, which was built in 1795 and is located c. 200m to W. Not indicated on the 1838 OS 6–inch map; indicated on the 1915 edition as a large oval enclosure (c. 35m E-W; c. 60m N-S), with a wooded interior. At this location is a natural elongated oval hillock. There is now no visible trace of an enclosing element. According to local information, the hillock was once encircled at its base by a field wall and planted with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The trees and the field wall were removed during land reclamation in the 20th-century. This enclosure appears to have been a tree-ring/estate feature in the grounds of Annefield house.
