Think it's just debris from building the motorway, if you notice, the motorway runs through a 'cut' just below it. Have said to my missus on numerous occasions walking around Waseley Hills Country Park how it looks ancient, but further searches have amounted to nothing.
The crown of beech trees doesn't help, almost looks like one of those Avebury 'hedgehogs'.
That's what made me think it was something.

Well I've looked again on the 1890 OS map and the clump of trees are definitely there so it's almost certainly not motorway debris. It's way too small for that I think.
