The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland. This rectangular cropmark enclosure (c. 34.5m NW-SE; c. 33.4m NE-SW) was brought to the attention of the Survey by Jean-Charles Caillère who identified it on Google Earth satellite imagery dated March 2014 and March 2016. On the OSi digitalglobe imagery (2011-2013), traces of a possible bank and external fosse are visible along its W and N sides and slight traces are evident at that N end of the E side. Possibly a moated site.
