The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape that was once part of the demesne of Arch Hall. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 60m) defined by two fosse features (ext. diam. c. 80m) was recorded on a drone-mounted camera operated by Justin Kenny in August 2018. There are entrances through the inner (Wth c. 5m) and outer (Wth c. 5m) fosses at ESE. It is also faintly visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018.
