The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Visible on Apple Maps as the cropmark of a wide fosse enclosing a roughly circular area (estimated maximum diameter c. 90m). Cropmarks of narrower concentric fosses appear to run just inside and outside the main fosse, while a cropmark of another fosse from SE to S to NW may be the remains of an associated field system. A later field boundary obscures the NE limits of the enclosure (pers. comm. C. Chambers, 25-06-2015).
