The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage with a river flowing roughly N-S c. 80m to the W. A circular enclosure within an irregular enclosure identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey and Simon Dowling on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). The inner enclosure (diam. c. 27m) appears to have an entrance in the SE quadrant. It is surrounded by an irregular sub-oval enclosure (dims. c. 83m NW-SE; c. 55m NE-SW) which kinks in slightly in the SE quadrant where there is appears to be an entrance, aligning with entrance of the inner enclosure. The N quadrant of the outer enclosure has been truncated by a field boundary, also visible as a cropmark, running ENE-WSW. There is another enclosure (CW016-151----) c. 90m to the ENE.
