Situated on a natural hillock surrounded by poorly drained bogland. Depicted as a grove of trees on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The hillock has been scarped and possible wall-footings of a building are located on top. The hillock may have been landscaped in the nineteenth century. Of doubtful antiquity.
