This enclosure has been recorded as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1977, CUCAP 1949). It is circular in plan and defined by a ditch about 3.2m wide. The enclosed area is 43.2m in diameter. There is an entrance 4.3m wide at the SSE. The field is cut by drains, which partly mask the entrance.
