Circular concentric dark marks (2-4) encircling an area about 200m diameter. Recorded as cropmark in 1984 by f. Griffith (aph). Vis=27/2/1991 (robinson). Crop marks encircle small round hill and seem likely to be geological in origin (dprfp). Vis=14/10/1992 (simpson + noble) a small knoll with good views along the otter valley, no visible earthworks.

The roughly circular cropmarks do appear to be geological and not archaeological in origin. The circular, enclosure-like effect cropmark was probably a result of differential crop growth caused by soil-moisture defecits between different geological strata as they eroded and exposed into the hillside.
