The National Monuments Service's description

Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified as 'Earthwork, possible site' in the RMP (1995). This refers to a right angled garden landscape feature indicated by hachures on the 1913 edition of the OS 6 inch map immediately to the east of the the 19th century house. It clearly formed part of the landscaping works associated with the house (SL026-102----) which dates from 1856 onwards (Bence-Jones 1978, 88). Not visible at ground level.
