The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture, with wide views. Listed as 'Potential site - aerial photo' in the RMP (1996). This levelled rectangular enclosure (17m NW-SE; 16m NE-SW) is defined on three sides (SW-N) by a very faintly visible band (Wth 1.5m) of dense vegetation (grass, nettles, etc.); the NE side is overlaid by a modern field wall. It may have been a moated site.
