The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 120m S of the Ward River. Visible as cropmarks, the vague outline of the three conjoined enclosures can be seen on Google Earth imagery (24 June 2018). The enclosures are best viewed on Apple Maps imagery (June 2018) where they can be seen as positive cropmarks. The primary\largest enclosure to S of group is subcircular in plan (diams. c. 47m N–S and c. 58m E–W.) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 3m). Within this enclosure, and roughly concentric with it, is another subcircular enclosure (diams. c. 33m N–S and c. 30m E–W) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1m). A third subcircular enclosure can be seen projecting from the N and NE perimeter of the ditch of the primary\largest enclosure to S. This enclosure (diams. c. 30m N–S; c. 32m E–W) is defined by a ditch (Wth c. 3m) of similar proportions to that of the primary enclosure.
