What is recorded here

This feature was shown as a circle of five dots on the OS 25-inch plan (surveyed 1910) immdiately south of the field boundary. It was named 'Megalithic Structure' on the 25-inch plan (revised 1940). The Name Book accompanying the 1940 revision (p. 201) states 'consists of four stones forming a half circle … '. It was not noted by Petrie and there is no visible trace of this feature. Its nature is uncertain it may well have been entirely natural. See linked image (SL014-209059-_01.jpg) of OS 25-inch plan (1940 revision).
