The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A concentric enclosure identified as a cropmark by Faith Bailey and Simon Dowling on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 14 July 2018). It consists of an inner, somewhat irregular enclosure (dims. c. 43m N-S; c. 40m E-W) and an outer roughly oval enclosure (dims. c. 85m N-S; c. 76m E-W). The space or berm between the two enclosures varies from 15m up to 23m.
