Not sure what this is.. at first I thought it could be an old windmill base. But no sign of anything on old (or new) maps but It also could be a Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee tree. There was a celebration held on the park grounds in 1887. It is in the old grounds of Madley Hall and not far from the 12th century Heighley Castle ..
