The National Monuments Service's description
This monument, depicted on the 1924 OS six-inch map as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) has been levelled. However, it is clearly evident as a cropmark on: http://binged.it/13zJonQ. The cropmark appears to show that the monument is a 'henge' type enclosure with its ditch/fosse inside the enclosing bank. This information was conveyed to ASI by Simon Dowling on 9 July 2013.
