X-Ice couldn't find on 1st Jan 1982 Got directions from locals. Did not search beyond that.
The remains of a mizmaze can still be traced and marked on the OS map. All that is left is a hexangonal earth bank which surrounded a circular labyrinth in the middle of a field. It was a meeting point for local games and was scoured even seven years by the local men. It was also the meeting place for witches and is possibly the earliest mentioned maze in documentation. It became overgrown 200 years ago.
