(26/11/1993) There is no ground evidence to suggest the presence of the feature depicted by the RCHME APU transcription (1985). The area described by the NGR lies in a plantation of young conifers on a steep east-facing slope 300m west of Laughter Hole House. The ground surface is largely obscured by the brash remaining from the felling of an earlier plantation.
