The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a quarry or pond feature on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map with field boundaries radiating out from hollow depression at E and W. Hollow depression now filled in shows up on as the cropmark of a filled in pit on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken 28/06/2018. Does not appear to be the remains of an archaeological monument of pre-1700 date. The cropmark of a similar feature can be seen on Google Earth 180m to NE.
