The National Monuments Service's description
Located within a large arable field along an east-west ridge, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of a ring ditch approximately 140 west of enclosure DU011-021---. The ring ditch (diam. c.9m) is visible on Google maps imagery (June 2018). Other cropmarks in the field indicate an extensive prehistoric landscape.
