The National Monuments Service's description
In an area on the edge of marshland to the E. A small quarry (dims. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) is located immediately S of the outer enclosure and encroaching on it slightly. A possible large enclosure (diam. c. 74m) identified as the cropmark of a fosse of varying widths on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018) by both Simon Dowling and Jean-Charles Caillère (Google Earth satellite imagery, 21 July 2021). Within this enclosure there are a number of other curvilinear fosses which may be internal features of the large enclosure. Also there is a deeper fosse curving from NE-E-SE which perhaps indicates a smaller oval enclosure (diam. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 56m NW-SE) utilising the SW-W-NW fosse of the larger enclosure.
