The National Monuments Service's description
Faintly visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (18-7-2021) in level tillage: a very large circular area (diam. c. 160m) defined by the cropmark of a narrow fosse. The N-sector of the feature is truncated by an E-W field boundary but its N-limits are faintly visible as a curving soil-mark in the adjoining field to the N.
