The feature is as drawn, a substantial probably post-medieval enclosure. It also contains the remiains of a rectangular structure as drawn. The northeast corner has been obscured by dumping of material during construction of the modern track. The stone dyke to the south is as drawn, disappearing to the southeast in an area of birch and then re-emerging. It has been cut by the modern track. <1>
