The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP ATA 29, BDU 42, 1967) as a long, narrow, slightly raised rectangular area (est. dims. L c. 80m NW-SE; Wth c. 20m NE-SW) with a rounded western end, truncated N-S to W of centre by a later road, subsequently disused and replaced by a realigned road to the W. The ground surface is uneven in this area, but the site limits are not readily discernable. A possible ringfort (KD010-005----) site lies c. 70m to the SE.
