The National Monuments Service's description
A circular enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph together with other features that could indicate a possible field system (DU011-122----). A ring-ditch is also visible to the north (DU011-123----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). The ground rises noticeably in the area of the site within a field that slopes gradually from north to south towards the Broadmeadow river. No visible remains at ground level.
