The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field, c. 110m ESE of of site of enclosure (DU005-100----), cropmarks indicate the presence of a large subsurface circular enclosure. Cropmark was visible on Google Earth imagery on the 24 June 2018, viewed 11 November 2019. The enclosure (dims. c. 35.5m N–S and c. 32m E–W) is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 0.5m). There is no indication of any gaps through the enclosure ditch. Digital Globe imagery indicates a series of linear features nearby that may represent an associated field system.
