Summary
Partially stone-lined hollow set c.1.5m back from the Princetown Branch track bed. It is only c.0.5m in height. The form of the structure appears to have been partially lost over the years. Its current appearance is of a possibly circular or sub-circular structure, of c.1.9m diameter, with a straight line of stones along its higher (south-east) side. The latter appears to coincide with the position of the Great Western Railway fence line, for which it may have been a footing. The second edition Ordnance Survey map depicts a small, c.3.5m wide, square building in this vicinity.

Stone structure (ruin)? at SX 54603 70938. Partially stone-lined hollow set c.1.5m back from the Princetown Branch track bed. It is only c.0.5m in height. The form of the structure appears to have been partially lost over the years. Its current appearance is of a possibly circular or sub-circular structure, of c.1.9m diameter, with a straight line of stones along its higher (south-east) side. The latter appears to coincide with the position of the Great Western Railway fence line, for which it may have been a footing. The second edition Ordnance Survey map depicts a small, c.3.5m wide, square building in this vicinity.
The feature is in a poor condition. Its form is quite distorted, particularly if it is the remains of the building depicted on the second edition OS map.
