The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular enclosure (max. dims. c. 120m N-S; c. 83m E-W) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 25 June 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. The N half of the enclosure tilts towards the NW. The S half (dims. c. 61m N-S; c. 70m E-W) is divided from the N half by a roughly E-W fosse which turns southward towards the E, running parallel to the outer fosse (Wth of gap c. 10m). The S fosse kicks out by c. 8m for c. 43m towards the SE angle.
