The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (GB89.W.12, 15 July 1989) of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 37m) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 3m). The cropmark is also visible on Google Earth satellite imagery, 14 July 2018 which shows the cropmark of a field boundary running roughly E-W through the S portion of the monument. There is an area of dark staining (dims. c. 25m N-S; c. 20m E-W) which encroaches on the W quadrant of the enclosure, possibly indicating waterlogging.
