The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a tree-ring on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on a gentle W-facing slope. It is on the demesne of Southpark House, which was c. 200m to the S but has now been removed. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 18m N-S; 16.8m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-4.8m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.1-0.3m) N-S, and a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. There is an outer fosse (Wth of top 3-4m; Wth of base 0.8-1.5m; D 0.1m) NW-SW which is reduced to a berm (Wth 3m) elsewhere. There is no visible entrance, and lazy-beds in the surrounding field are not in the interior, suggesting it is almost certainly be a landscape feature.
