The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in pasture. Enclosure (WM025-009----) lies c. 115m to S. Depicted as a grove of trees and not as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map where it is shown as a D-shaped, tree-planted earthwork at the SW end of a grove of trees bordering the public road, on the grounds of Lynn House. Levelled feature is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography and this area has been incorporated into the garden of a modern house. Probably a post-1700 landscape feature as depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map.
