The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. A circular bivallate enclosure (overall diam. c. 62m) defined by roughly concentric fosses, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 14 July 2018 and OS Ortho, 2005-2012), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The fosses are c. 4m apart in the N portion of the monument and widen to c. 6m apart in the S portion. Also visible is a cropmark of a field boundary running NE-SW through the centre of the enclosure, this field boundary is indicated on the 1st (c. 1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and the revision.
