The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. A field system, associated with an oval enclosure (CW015-003----), identified as a cropmark by James Eogan on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). This discrete field system consists of a curvilinear enclosure adjoining the N (extending c. 27m N) and E side (extending c. 18m E) of the oval enclosure and an adjoining roughly square enclosure (dims. c. 50m) S of the oval enclosure. There is also a roughly concentric fosse outside the W quadrant (Wth of area c. 10m), from SW-NW and another similar area, defined by a fainter cropmark of a fosse, running concentric with the N quadrant (Wth of area c. 7m), from NW-NE. There are two enclosures, CW015-034---- and CW015-033----, c. 140m and c. 240m to the WSW respectively and a field system (CW015-035----) c. 240m to the SW.
