The National Monuments Service's description
In woodland, immediately N of a watercourse, along the entrance to Glenbrook House. A mid-19th century spa well (NIAH Reg. No. 21903819) lies immediately to the SE. Not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a scarp. Area overgrown with trees on the OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity may be a designed landscape feature associated with adjoining Spa Well.
See attached Google Earth orthoimages.
