The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pastureland. A hachured feature marked on the 1931 edition of the OS 6-inch map proved on inspection in 1984 to be a disused gravel pit defined by a hollow. Probably of 19th/20th century date. A similar hollow (GA032-051----) lies in the same field c. 45m to the WSW.
