In improved level pasture. No visible surface trace. Identified by aerial photography (CUCAP BGO; 19 July 1971) as a possible enclosure. Indicated on the 1st (1840) 6-inch OS map as a small tree plantation, possibly a designed landscape feature (dims. c. 100m NE-SW; c. 55m NW-SE). On the 25-inch OS map the SW portion is depicted as a roughly circular stand of trees, with a small pond in the northern area of the 1840s plantation. Barrow, possible is c. 100m to ENE.
