The National Monuments Service's description
Located with a large arable field adjacent to the coast, cropmarks indicate the presence of subsurface remains of a parallel linear ditches. The parallel ditches visible on Google maps imagery (June 2018), are visible for c.50m and are aligned NNE/SSW. Situated approximately 16m apart the linear ditches average 2m in width. The linear ditches appear to lead towards double ditched enclosure (DU005-203----). Other cropmarks in the field may indicate extensive activity in this area.
