The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 45m NNW-SSE; c. 60m ENE-WSW) identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey and Simon Dowling on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). The enclosure is defined by a fosse and there is a possible entrance (Wth c. 2.7m) in the NE quadrant. This enclosure appears to overlie the NE portion of another enclosure (CW004-067----), visible as a fainter cropmark.
