The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph taken by Gillian Barrett (GB94. FH.03/02) shows cropmarks of a field system comprising curvilinear and rectilinear components extending from a cropmark enclosure (DU011-078----). Plough-levelled.
A vertical aerial photograph taken by the Ordnance Survey 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.
