What makes it genuinely odd is the way it presents itself: from certain angles, the raised interior mound gives the whole thing the appearance of a barrow, the kind of earthen or stone-covered burial mound associated with prehistoric funerary traditions. Yet whether it was ever used for burial, or whether that resemblance is coincidental, remains an open question.

The enclosure measures around twenty metres in diameter, defined by loose stones that are only intermittently visible, heavily overgrown along its northern to southwestern arc. Inside, a raised stone area of about seven metres across and up to half a metre high sits at the centre, and the interior ground level along the southwestern to northern portion runs noticeably higher than the land immediately outside the enclosure wall. The site sits within a broader field system, and ancient field boundaries extend outward from the enclosure to the west, northwest, and northeast, suggesting it once formed a focal point within a working agricultural landscape rather than an isolated monument. It was first identified from aerial photography and listed as a potential site in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996, which means it has had formal recognition for nearly three decades without yielding much by way of firm answers about its nature or date.
