The National Monuments Service's description
Annotated as ‘Moteen’ beside Ordnance Datum point for 266ft on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. No surface remains visible of an antiquity at this location. At the time of visit in 1979 there were signs of recent bulldozing in the field and a roadway was being constructed along the N side of the field fence running E-W. This area has been partially quarried out as visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
