What appears to be an ordinary field conceals the fosse, or defensive ditch, of a circular enclosure roughly ten to fifteen metres across. It is the kind of site that rewards patience and the right angle of view, and it would likely have remained unrecorded had a camera not been pointed downward at just the right moment.

The feature was identified from an aerial photograph taken on 19 July 1967 as part of the Cambridge University Collection of Aerial Photography, catalogue reference CUCAP ATA010. Aerial photography became one of the most effective tools for locating earthworks of this kind during the mid-twentieth century; differences in soil moisture and crop growth above buried ditches can render a vanished structure legible from altitude even when nothing is visible from the ground. The ring-ditch here represents what was likely the enclosing fosse of a small circular monument, though whether that was a prehistoric burial site, a later settlement enclosure, or something else entirely is difficult to say without excavation. Adding to the interest of the location, a second and slightly smaller ring-ditch sits roughly twenty metres to the north-east, suggesting the area held some significance across whatever period these features were in use.
