The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 80m S of the River Ward. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth (24 June 2018) coverage where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The ring-ditch encloses a sub-circular area (ext. diams. c. 20.5m N-S and c. 20.7m E-W) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.7m). There is no clear evidence for any entrance gaps through the ditch.
