Marked as a small square wooded enclosure on the 1839 (dims. c. 40m x c. 30m) and 1925 (dims. c. 30m x c. 25m) eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated in the bottom of a shallow NNW-SSE valley with a stream c. 20m to the E. This is a square area (dims. 31m N-S; 31m E-W) in a small coniferous wood defined by earthen banks (Wth 5-7m; int. H c. 1-1.5m; ext. H 1.8-2m normally but 3.4m over a stream at S) at the N, S and W sides, and flat bottomed external moats (Wth of top 5.5-6.5m; ext. D 1.2-2m) on each side. The bank is augmented by spoil from the digging of an inner drain on all sides except the E where the bank was probably removed, and the stream was diverted into the moat at S and now runs off to the S from the SW angle.
