The National Monuments Service's description
First recorded as a positive cropmark in July 1991. Aerial photograph (GB91. DV.13) shows cropmark of a rectangular enclosure defined on three sides by a broad fosse; the north-eastern side is defined by a small stream. This enclosure is recorded as a rectangular field on the first edition OS 6-inch map; however, the broad fosse suggests that this may be an archaeological monument (Gillian Barrett).
