TheCaptain visited on 14th Jun 2021 - their rating: Amb: 3 Access: 3 Cotswold Way walk from Seven Springs to Cleeve Hill. After visiting the trig point, dropped down to the carpark and golf club for a beer. Walked right by The Ring and forgot to have a look and take note. Beer was needed!

At the centre of the enclosure is a roughly circular level platform, this was constructed in the late 19th Century as part of the Golf Course. The central platform is no longer part of the golf course.

A few metres to the northeast is a small banked enclosure, this has been interpreted as a possible hut circle platform.
