The National Monuments Service's description
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) is visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 28 June 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. The enclosure pre-dates a rectangular orchard which is associated with Edmondsbury House on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The N boundary of the orchard is visible on Google Earth as a cropmark, running roughly E-W across the N quadrant of the circular enclosure.
