In flat grassland. In 1999, during the redevelopment of the stud farm, these earthworks, which possibly represents the remains of a deserted medieval village, were partially buried in topsoil to make the land safe for livestock (Purcell and Gowen 2000, 283). A digital terrain model of the earthworks, prior to this, revealed several features including three circular mounds (diam. 5-6m) which appear as 'shallow ring ditches' and may be barrows or 'residual features from circular feeding troughs' (O'Donovan and Duffy 2002, 39-40). Earthworks to the S which appear on aerial photographs (CUCAP 1967, ATA 64; CUCAP 1971, BGO 11) appear to be the remains of a medieval deserted settlement (TS053-042003-).
