The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture at base of W facing slope on the demesne lands of Elm Park House located 80m to NNE. No surface remains visible. This is the most northerly of three enclosures (LI012-049-/050----) forming a line running NW-SE for a distance of c. 293m. The two enclosures (LI012-049-/050----) lie 92m and 270m to SE respectively. Monument indicated on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped sunken area (approx. ext. diam. 21m) defined by a ditch (approx. Wth 6m) with tree in centre of earthwork. Outline of depression visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 06/02/2018 which has been incorporated into a field boundary at N. Location of earthwork on the demesne of Elm Park House suggests that this earthwork is a designed landscape feature.
