Notes

This feature was reported by Russell Chapman to Bill Radcliffe. The current author was visiting Beardown and had mentioned this to Bill who suggested that it should be checked out. The grid reference given by Russell was SX 59475 79416. The feature is a rectangular pit lined by small stones. It does not have the appearance of a Bronze Age cist. The nature and function of this feature is unclear but would seem most likely to be relatively modern. The author would like to thank Russell and Bill for the details.

The HER record MDV4217 has been moved to the west and now roughly coincides with this feature - it didn't previously. On that basis that record is now being matched with this feature although the match is uncertain.
