The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. Aerial photographs (GB89.T.11 and 14) show cropmarks of a group of six small ring-ditches. There are two adjacent smaller circles which have been interpreted by Barrett (2009) as former tree rings. Though not indicated on the 1st (1839) or revised (1900) ed. of the 6-inch OS map, there is a possibility that all these features are related to landscaping, as they are within the landscaped demesne of Grange House.
