DESCRIPTION: This is a regular shaped enclosure bounded with two substantial proprietary steel fences to east and west aspect and currently unfenced to south and north with notably the trees on this aspect providing significant shelter.

On the south west corner is a concrete pad upon which a shed was previously in place.
