The National Monuments Service's description
Said to be known locally as the 'Long Man's Bed' (Mac Ivor 1956, 406-7), it is marked as a double ditch on the 1835 'OS 6-inch' map. Inspection in 1966 suggests it is a laneway defined by a modern road fence at the S and another older earth and stone bank just N of it.
