The first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded a subrectangular enclosure, roughly 30 metres by 25 metres, sitting on a low rise. By the time the third edition was published in 1933, the same feature was being read as a roughly circular hollow, about 30 metres across. The shape had either changed, or the earlier surveyors had seen something the later ones could not quite make out.

A 1963 description from the Office of Public Works Topographical Files added another layer of uncertainty, recording the site as a small raised, sub-rectangular garden plot. That label is intriguing without being conclusive. Raised garden plots of this kind are occasionally associated with post-medieval domestic enclosures or kitchen gardens attached to houses long since vanished, though nothing in the surviving record here points firmly in any direction. What the sequence of descriptions does suggest is a feature that was already losing definition across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, retreating gradually into the landscape until no visible surface trace survived at all. The shallow depression that remains is the last legible sign of whatever was once enclosed here.
