The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Visible on Apple Maps as the cropmark of a fosse enclosing a sub-circular area (estimated diameter c. 90m), with the cropmark of a second fosse apparently sub-dividing the internal NW quadrant. Further linear cropmarks of fosses radiate off the enclosure to N and S and may be the remains of an associated field system. A later field boundary bisects the enclosure NW-SE. (pers. comm. C. Chambers, 25-06-2015).
