Situated on a SW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular feature (int. diam. c. 5m) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 3m) was recorded on a drone-mounted camera by Justin Kenny in August 2018. It is also visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018.
