The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. Aerial photograph (GB90.BK.08) shows the cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 30-40m) defined by a fosse; a rectilinear structure is located within the enclosure. Fosses define two small conjoined enclosures to the E and NE, suggesting an associated field system. It was first recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1990, but is now within a designed golf course.
