The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A roughly square enclosure (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S to field boundary) with rounded NE and NW angles, visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018) identified and reported by Simon Dowling. The S portion of the enclosure is not visible. A field boundary runs NE-SW through the S portion. There is a suggestion of an outer fosse in the NE quadrant c. 10m from the inner fosse.
