What is recorded here
On the E side of a flat-topped ridge in a N-S valley. Very good views in all directions. A small faint circular feature (diam. c. 12m) visible only on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. On inspection no visible trace was found at ground level. The field is flat and reclaimed and an extensive range of modern farm buildings have been built at or slightly E of the mapped location.
