The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 405m SSE of triple-ditched enclosure (DU015-058---- ). An unnamed W-E running stream, a tributary of the Mayne River, is located c. 75m to the S. The ring-ditch can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The ring-ditch is circular in plan (diam. c. 12.7m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.6m). There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap across the ditch.
