The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland immediately E of the driveway into Highpark House located 55m to S. Outline of oval-shaped area (approx. diam. 21m) visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13. Clearly visible as an oval-shaped area enclosed by a bank with possible entrance gap at E on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/04/2006. Close proximity to Highpark House could suggest that this was a designed landscape feature associated with landscaping of the demesne lands.
