What is recorded here

In level, wet pasture. A slightly raised, circular area (diam. 19m; H. c. 0.2m) noted in 1985 (SMR file) is visible as a slight rise, the precise extent of which is now difficult to determine on the ground. Neighbouring field boundaries shown to N, E and S on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map have been removed.
