The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on an aerial photo (GSI N415-6) as a group of some five possible short, linear earthworks, with a small, possible rectangular enclosure in their midst. On a fairly gentle, NE-slope, in pasture. In 1986, the whole surface of the field was noted to be uneven, with no recognisable pattern or features (SMR file). Some land improvement has occurred since, and the ground surface has been levelled off. A disused land-drain (Wth 1m; D 0.3-0.6m) dog-legs NW-SE-ENE through the area, and spoil from a drained stream is piled along the E-limits.
