The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB89. AE.12) shows cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. The site was subject to geophysical survey (Licence no. 11R0152) and subsequent test excavation (Licence no. 12E0063) which identified a curved linear ditch (1.45m wide, 0.45m deep) (Kavanagh 2012, 24).
