Not marked on 1st ed OS 6" map although is clearly defined on the 1905 second edition OS map, lying adjacent to a series of larger enclosures all marked as being within coniferous plantation. Probably a stock enclosure.

The post medieval to modern possible stock enclosure described above is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a recent lidar survey (S2). Contrary to the information given above, it is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S3), and also by modern Ordnance Survey mapping, and has therefore not been mapped by the project. The polygon defining the site has been amended to accord with the location of the feature on the lidar imagery, and on modern Ordnance Survey MasterMap mapping.
