85 concrete blocks, seventy of them extend to the north of a footpath, to end with several blocks being placed at right angles and set into a field. Those to the south number fifteen but it is believed that there are more under ground level which has risen over time. Some of the blocks show that it took more than one pouring of concrete to produce the desired shape. In some cases it is easy to make out the two pourings as the texture of the two concrete mixtures used is different.
