The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating ground under tillage. An aerial photograph taken in 1966 (CUCAP, AOZ 51) shows cropmark evidence for a single-ditched enclosure, roughly circular in plan (diam. c. 45m). There is another cropmark enclosure (diam. c. 10m ) W of the site (DU015-003002-). Also visible on Bing (viewed 24/01/2014). These are probably ploughed out remains of ringforts. Not visible at ground level.
