It is described in an accompanying Name Book as follows: 'The site of an old grave roughly formed with large stones but now removed from the spot where they stood'. There is no trace of any remains here now. The nature of the supposed grave must remain uncertain. OS Revision Name Book, sheet 74 (1848-50), 6.
