It began its bureaucratic life in 1989 as a "possible enclosure", a classification applied to circular or roughly circular features that might represent ancient settlement boundaries or field systems, but that have not yet been confirmed on the ground. The problem, it turned out, was that the original entry was based on a misreading of a high-level aerial photograph, and when someone actually walked the field, they found nothing.

The story does not quite end there. A later, more detailed pass through aerial photographic coverage at a larger scale revealed a circular cropmark at the same location. Cropmarks appear when buried features, walls, ditches, or pits, affect the growth of vegetation above them, producing visible differences in colour and height that are legible from the air but invisible at ground level. So while the site was quietly dropped from the Record of Monuments and Places in 1995, and does not appear on any edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, the aerial evidence suggests something may yet lie underground. What that something is remains unclassified, the available evidence not being sufficient to say whether it is prehistoric, early medieval, agricultural, or entirely natural in origin. The site occupies an odd position, caught between a clerical error and an unresolved suggestion, neither confirmed monument nor empty field.
