Located on S-facing slope in a large arable field. A large enclosure (DU005-189----) is located c. 114m to the NNW and a smaller ring-ditch (DU005-187----) is located c. 29.8m to the S\SSE. The site is clearly visible on Google Earth imagery (7 May 2017). The ring-ditch consists of a circular feature (ext. diam. c. 15.5m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 2m). There is no evidence of an entrance gap through the ditch.
