What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise, in pasture, with fairly good views to E and S and restricted views to W and N. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a perfectly circular-shaped tree-ring and not as an antiquity. Levelled monument described in 1979 as no surface remains visible. Several field boundaries in the vicinity have been removed. This may have been a ringfort that was reused as a tree-ring. Levelled monument the cropmark of which is barely visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
