The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture. Enclosure (LI033-111001-) lies 30m to S and barrows (LI033-136/137----) to immediate E and SE. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 106.04; AP 4/3620) as an earthwork. Visible as a semi- circular cropmark (diam c. 85m) defined by a fosse from W-N-NE only on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018. Barrow (LI033-135----) is recorded in E quadrant of interior. A linear field drain running NE-SW lies to immediate SE. Doubtful antiquity.
