The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (CUCAP, BDQ 66) shows cropmark evidence for a circular, single-ditched enclosure (diam. c. 45m). It had been truncated by field boundaries in the east and was formerly incorporated into a golf course. The site was subject to test excavation (Licence no. 05E0236) but not identified (Tierney, 2005). Not visible at ground level.
