(26/11/1993) There is no ground evidence to confirm the presence of the feature depicted on the RCHME APU transcription (1985). The area described by the NGR lies in a plantation of young conifers on a steep east facing slope 350m west south west of Laughter Hole House. The ground surfavce is largely obscured by the brash remaining from the felling of an earlier plantation.
