Aerial photographs (CUCAP BGH 32-3; GB91.DY. 02) show circular area enclosed by cropmarks of three concentric but slightly irregular fosses (est max. diam. c. 65m). At W, cropmark of fosse defining apparently circular and earlier enclosure (CW012-009002-). No visible traces at ground level. Possibly multivallate ringfort partly overlying circular enclosure of indeterminate type.
