The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field, close to the N boundary of field, and c. 60.1m S of the Ward River. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth (24 June 2018) coverage where it is visible as a positive cropmark. The site is D-shaped in plan (ext. diam. c. 20.5m N–S and c. 20.7 E–W) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1.3). There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the ditch.
