The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field close to the field’s S boundary, and c. 146m SE of enclosure DU015-057---- in large arable field, this ring-ditch is part of a complex of enclosures and ring-ditches at this location. The ring-ditch is visible on Google Earth imagery (24 June 2018) and on Apple maps (June 2018). The site is circular in plan (ext. diam. c. 12.3m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.4m). There is no evidence for an entrance gap through the ditch. There are a significant number of other enclosures and ring-ditches in the same field to the NW, N and ENE.
