The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the S end of a low S-N spur. The cropmarks of two small circular features are visible only on a Digital Globe image (2011-13). This feature (diam. c. 6m) is defined by a single fosse, and the ring-ditch (LH019-42001-) is c. 7m to the WNW. The features were first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
