The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 60m W of the Marlow river, in wet pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m), which appears to have an internal fosse, visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Its size and morphology suggest that this is a possible ring-barrow. There is another possible ring-barrow (TS046-068----) c. 11m to the SW.
