Virtually destroyed ancient maze. I went searching for this maze armed with an old sketch from the 1920s which showed the surviving part an arm with a tree at the end. It was found on a local golf course who surprisingly knew what I was talking about and directed to the site. There is not much to see from the two photos and I am sure it would be more visible from above!
