Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 65(01) & Bruff 65(02): AP 4/3681) as a subcircular-shaped earthwork, having a circular-shaped anomaly in the centre. Monument is visible as a circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 33m) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 25/03/2017.
