Situated on a slope within a clear area in the middle of the forest, it consists of a single rampart around the outside of a trapezoidal shape, 180 by 150 yards.
A lovely place in the forest with the trees all a bright green and bluebells sprinkled around. Saw two lovely green woodpeckers fly off in front of me.
