An information panel states that the albyrinth was created in 2005, made of stone from quarries along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, with the oldest in the centre. Its design was based on those at Chartres Cathedral in France and a labyrinth at Saffron Waldon. A slight earthwork platform circa 25 metres to the north does not correspond to any of the structures visible on the 1940s aerial photographs.

A complex of probable stone or concrete slabs or blocks apparently forming a low maze-like surface structure is visible on aerial photographs from 2006 onwards. It is not visible on aerial photographs taken in 2001. This recent landscape feature has not been transcribed, but is recorded here to avoid possible confusion in the future.
