From the Oct. 25, 1963 edition of the Vineyard Gazette by Joseph Chase Allen:

High stone walls, some lengths standing taller than a very tall man’s shoulder, enclose the ancient meadow. It is a long, and relatively narrow enclosure, probably running to ten acres or even more but no one could even guess at its extent today with brush-clumps and even trees, dotting what was once called “plough-land.” A gentle roll, like a low ocean swell, once rippled the smoothly-mowed area, but nothing of this can now be seen.
