The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. A group of five ring-ditches that are fairly close together are visible on Google Earth (14-07-2018). This is the cropmark of a small subcircular feature (diam. c. 12m N-S; c. 10m E-W) defined by a single slight fosse. They were first reported by Tom Condit.
