The National Monuments Service's description
In a flat field of poorly drained pasture. Not shown on the 1939 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps. A circular hachured enclosure (diam. 25-30m) is shown on the OS 25-inch plan, and is recorded as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 25m) in an aerial photograph (SMR file: GSI M 26- 7; Roll 205, pr. 4). At ground level a cropmark (max. dim. c. 40m) of slightly yellower grass is evident, defining an area that is softer and wetter underfoot.
