In a largely forested area within the Spinans Hill hillfort complex (WI021-080001-/WI027-078001-). A circular enclosure (diam. 17m) c. 400m SW of Brusselstown Ring. This is located on level ground between two apparently natural mounds and may be of ritual significance (Condit 1992, 20). This location has been left unplanted.
