The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the N edge of a broad hill. An aerial photograph (GB89.E.20) shows the cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by a fosse. The enclosure is also visible on OSI images (1995) where an internal circular feature (diam. c. 10m) is also visible. A housing estate, built in the late 2000s, now occupies the site of this monument.
