The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a field north of the Broadmeadow River immediately west of Newtown Cottages. A vertical aerial photograph taken by the OS in 1992 (OS 8, 1526) shows a cropmark of a double-ditched, subcircular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) with ditches radiating from the NE and SE quadrants. This is possibly a levelled, bivallate ringfort with associated field system. Not visible at ground level.
