The National Monuments Service's description
A field system visible as a crop mark on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13, appears associated with circular enclosure (DU011-121----). A ring-ditch also occurs in the same field 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.
