The National Monuments Service's description
This record was incorrectly classified as Enclosure in the RMP (1997). It has been reclassified as Quarry based on details recorded in 1969 when it was described as 'a piece of disturbed (quarried) limestone' (SMR file). Due to extensive field clearance in the area, no visible surface trace survives.
