A ‘possible archaeological site’ was marked at this location on a Forest Service map, and was reportedly destroyed by agriculture (SMR file). There were no details on the nature of the possible monument.
Two small conjoined subcircular fields are indicated on the 1916 6-inch at the location. They are extant, except that the dividing wall between the two has been removed to create a single subrectangular or oblong field (19-20m NE−SW; c. 12m NW−SE), enclosed by relatively narrow, roughly constructed drystone walls (Wth 1m; H 1.1m). The interior is not raised relative to exterior ground level. The remains appear to be simply a small field enclosure contemporary with the surrounding system of 19th linear field walls. It is largely obscured by thickets of blackthorn and brambles. An old trackway borders the SE side. There is no visible evidence of an archaeological monument at this location.
