Listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, the "Enclosure" is noted on the OS Map and is found a few hundred yards to the east of the Stitchcombe road, along a forestry track. Parking is available opposite by the Forestry gate.
The monument doesn't have any real detail online so have noted this as a Misc Earthwork as it is unclear if it is Neolithic or Iron Age or its possible use, but is seen as a single bank and ditch with the forest track passing through the southern loop. The topographic features are quite pronounced on the ground although during summer may well be overgrown with bracken. On the ground there does seem to be an entrance, or at least lack of ground features to the east. Across the site is planted Beech trees and with relatively open woodland so the ground features are easy to trace.
