The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB90.BH.08) shows cropmark of a small ring-ditch; a fosse defines a curvilinear boundary to the north-west. It is plough-levelled. First recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1990. A small but clear monument in an area with a high incidence of ring-ditches and enclosures.
