Full Description
The Ordnance Survey 1st and 2nd edition maps record the presence of a rectangular curling pond, aligned NW-SE, just east of the route of an overhead power line. <1>-<3>
There was no visible evidence for the curling pond at the location previously recorded on the Ordnance Survey map. The area was covered in woodland which limited visibility, a number of highland cattle were being kept in the wooded area and the animals had badly churned up the ground. <3>
This site now lies beneath houses and gardens at the end of Birch Drive. <4>
