The National Monuments Service's description
In level tillage. Visible on a 1967 aerial photograph (CUCAP ATC 52) as the cropmark of a semicircular fosse enclosing the S-half of a probably originally circular area (est. max diam. c. 55m). The N portion of the site is overlain by a modern field bank and farm track running E-W. There is no visible surface trace of the monument and the area is under barley stubble.
