The National Monuments Service's description
A large oval shaped enclosure visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. May contain internal features (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Geophysical survey (Licence no. 14R001) undertaken at the site did not yield significant responses. However testing (Licence no. 14E0007) confirmed the presence of a large enclosure (c.100m diam) ditch (2.5m wide x 1.1m deep). It is to be excavated in advance of development.
