Information from MPB&W, Ms plan, visited 29 March 1967.

At NH 9750 2701 at the base of a gentle SW slope, where it meets marshy haughland, in what is locally known as "the Field of the Horse", are the two concentric banks of earth and stone as planned by the MPB&W. Their purpose cannot be ascertained.
The outer bank, 3.0m wide and 0.5m high, forms a circle c10.0m in diameter crest to crest, the SW arc being mutilated, and the NE arc destroyed by the road.
The inner bank, 1.8m wide and 0.3m high, forms a circle 3.8m in diameter crest to crest. There is a gap, 0.6m wide, in the lower SW arc. Immediately to the SE is an area of disturbed ground of indeterminate nature. Some 6.0m to the SW is a spring.
