In grassland on an E-facing slope of rising reclaimed ground in upland region with good views in all directions. Possible vegetation mark (Wth 3m) of levelled enclosure (diam. 62m N-S; 60m E-W) visible from W through N top NE only, no other features visible, road intersected monument at E on a N-S axis, road not indicated on 1843 ed. OS 6-inch map. Monument depicted as a tree plantation on 1843 ed. OS 6-inch map and as a tree-ring on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Originally it consisted of a tree plantation located on wet marshy land which has been subsequently reclaimed and tree-ring was probably levelled when land was being reclaimed. This was classified in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1997) as an 'Enclosure possible'. Following field inspection this was found to be a tree-ring of post-1700 date. It has been classified as a 'Tree-ring' but is not included in the current remit of the ASI.
