What is recorded here

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.
