(07/03/1989) SX 65078038. The enclosure, as depicted on the Aerial Photographic Unit transcription is about 60 metres north-south by 40 metres east-west. It cannot be seen on the ground, an area of short grass, reeds, and much surface stone (S. Probert).
(26/04/1989) Very uncertain indications on the aerial photographs rest, primarily, upon a curving cattle walk forming the eastern side of the "enclosure" (N. Quinnell).
