OS 6" map (1965)
In a plantation a quarter of a mile NE of Hundleshope farmhouse there is a group of remains comprising (i) two stretches of a bank which may originally have formed part of an oval enclosure; (ii) a sinuous bank; and (iii) three low stony mounds. It is not known whether these remains are related to one another and their date and purpose are uncertain. (Information from R W Feachem notebook 1955-7, 106)

Generally as described though it would appear that the three stony mounds referred to are in fact mutilated portions of the bank of the enclosure.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
