What is recorded here

In average pasture, located on a slight rise with extensive views to N and NE. This possible enclosure is not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1929 edition as a semi-circular area (c. 25m N–S; c. 15m E–W) bordered on the straight side to W by a N–S field boundary. On the map the semicircle is depicted with hachuring which are oriented to represent a sunken interior. There are no remains visible that correspond to the feature depicted on the OS map. According to local information, there was a small, roughly circular mound, ‘about 5 feet high [c. 1.5m]’ with a narrow top, at this location. A slight rise (diam. c. 12-14m N-S) in ground level is evident adjacent to the N-S field boundary, but no other trace of a mound. A farm track now skirts the W edge of the location.
