Access to the circle:

The circle sits a few yards inside a field close to the side of the road. It can clearly be seen but during summer access is difficult because the field is ploughed and crop filled. There is no path to the circle and a small wall and fence would have to be climbed in order to reach it.

The circle is not really worth visiting, about 3 stones can be seen poking out of the overgrown interior, the site seems to be ruinous and in poor condition.
