What is recorded here
All that remains of this site is a natural ridge in an area of undulating countryside. This natural ridge was once planted with trees which were bulldozed during recent land reclaimation. The local farmer described the site as a natural grove of trees with no evidence of a bank or any other man made feature. Therefore this site is of no archaeological interest. Depicted on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a tree-plantation.
