In undulating grassland. This CBG is indicated on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a small unenclosed circular area (D c. 8m). No visible surface trace survives. According to local tradition, it was an area 'nine yards square' (8.2m) with stones set around the edge and the interior was overgrown; it was known as a children's burial place, though no one remembered when it was last used.
