The National Monuments Service's description
In a lowlying position within Newpark Wood. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated as a circular feature with a solid line on the 1921 OS 6-inch map. This and a similar feature (CL033-089----) c. 60m to the S are likely to have been decorative landscape features associated with the Newpark estate. Newpark house is c. 200m to the SE. On inspection in 2000 no trace of any archaeological features were found.
