The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field in level terrain with restricted views in all directions, c. 640m N of Broadmeadow River. Another cropmark enclosure (DU011-120--) lies c.300m to WNW. The cropmarks can be seen on Google Earth coverage (24 June 2018) where they are visible as a series of positive cropmarks defining a subsurface ditch. The enclosure is subcircular in plan (diam. c. 35m N–S and c. 32.5m E-W) There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the ditch (Wth c. 1.6m).
