In pasture immediately W of a stream. Holy well (LI057-001----) lies 250m to SE. Not depicted as an antiquity but shown as an irregular-shaped field on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a raised roughly oval-shaped area (dims. c. 65m NW-SE; 33m NE-SW) defined by a scarp from SW-N-E-S enclosed by a stream from N-E-S. Outline of overgrown monument visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and Google Earth orthoimages. Uncertain about antiquity of earthwork.
