The National Monuments Service's description

Aerial photograph (GB96.FX.36) shows cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse; a narrower outer fosse is located on the southern and western sides of the enclosure. Faint cropmark boundaries extending from the enclosure suggest an associated field system (CW012-201002-).
