The field has been incorporated into Milverton Quarry since 1970 and there is no visible surface trace (Campion 1969, 39; Healy 1975, 18; Cahill and Sikora 2011, 472). Cropmark of circular-shaped area (diam. c. 30m) transected at W by field boundary which is defined by two ditches visible on Google Earth orthoimage. This cropmark may be the remains of the monument known locally as the 'Danes burial ground'.
