What is recorded here
On a low, yet distinctive knoll, in improved pasture, overlooking woodland to E and gently rolling pasture elsewhere. Depicted on the 1840 edition OS 6-inch map as a large oval area defined by a single enclosing element. The monument is shown as a sub-oval area (30m N-S; 19m E-W) defined by a single enclosing element on the 25-inch OS map and 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level. This knoll was clearly used as a well-drained vantage point with land sloping down steeply to N and E. According to local information this land was intensively improved sometime prior to the 1980s.
