(26/11/1993) No ground evidence to suggest the presence of the features 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 300m east of Laughter Hole House. The ground surface is largely obscured by the brash remaining from the felling of an earlier plantation.
