The National Monuments Service's description

A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 36m), identified as the cropmark of a fosse on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 18 July 2021) by Jean-Charles Caillère. Another enclosure (CW008-099----) is conjoined to the NW. The cropmark of a field boundary runs NE-SW between the two enclosures, possibly truncating the fosses.
