Three roughly oval earthwork mounds, circa 2.5 metres wide and enclosing a roughly circular area of 18 metres diameter, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is located in mixed woodland at Widworthy and trees obscure the ground surface on the available aerial photographs. Interpretation is therefore tentative, and it is possible that this feature is part of the designed landscape, perhaps a tree ring of post-medieval date.
