26 June 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Site consisting of two ring ditches, both incomplete although this is likely to be due to geological masking of the features.
S. Massey (NLA), 30 August 2001.

8 July 1996. NLA aerial photography.
Cropmarks of linear features and at least one ring ditch can be seen, although quite faint.
The linear features may well form either side of a trackway, visible as parallel ditches running across the field, they also appear to follow the line of the parish boundary.
The ring ditch can be seen at NGR TG 2851 2118 and the linear feature/trackway appears to cut it.
There is also a possible further ring ditch at NGR TG 2846 2123, which is larger than the first.
