The National Monuments Service's description
One of two ring-ditches visible on AP taken by G.F. Barrett (GB89. W17) (see also CW016-109----). The surrounding area was archaeologically tested (Excavation Licence No. 02E0351) to facilitate a housing development in 2002. The remains of field systems were noted to the N and S of the enclosures (see CW016-118---- and CW016-119----). (Stafford and Benen, 2002)
