From Pastscape:
"Stone circle comprising 14 stones around the circumference and a single stone near the centre. Identified by Passmore during the 1920s. The arrangement does not appear to be natural, although it does occur in an area of naturally-occurring sarsens. Ordnance Survey field investigation suggests that a nearby low mound, suggested by Passmore to be a barrow, could represent a hut site, while the circle of stones represents a small paddock."
