The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on an aerial photograph (GSI N442-1) as the westernmost of three small, circular enclosures (est. diam. c. 20m); with a second enclosure (KD017-045002-) c. 150m to the NE and a third (KD017-045002-) c. 120m to the E. On level improved pasture with the surrounding field boundaries, as shown on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch maps, removed by the landowner who recalled filling in a small pond in this area, but who had no knowledge of any monuments here. No visible surface trace survives.
