The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground in the parkland of Oldbridge House. It was first identified by Cooney (et al. 2001, vol. 1, 43-4, fig. 33, 16) in a remote sensing survey in Panel C as a circular feature (diam. c. 7m) defined by a single fosse feature and with two internal possible pit features. It was also recorded in a subsequent geomagnetic survey (Davis 2017, Fig. 5, 10).
