The National Monuments Service's description
In pastureland to the W of the old course of a stream. Traces of a rectangular enclosure (50m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a very low grassed-over bank (Wth 2m; H 0.1-0.15m) are visible along the S, W and N sides. A N-S running field boundary cuts across its E half. The old course of a stream meanders to the E of the boundary. No trace of a fosse was evident and it was unclear whether this was the remains of an enclosure or a small field.
