The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in a large reclaimed field within an extensive ancient field system (CL009-013001-). A circular enclosure was noted on a Geological Survey aerial photo (GSIAP R 12, 13). On inspection in 1998 only a slight hollow was noted at the location. The field system and possible enclosures can be seen in the reclaimed field on Digital Globe 2011-2013.
