The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 40m) that might be defined by two fosses W-N is visible only on Apple Maps imagery. The perimeter at W is truncated by a N-S field drain that is only mapped on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
