The National Monuments Service's description
In level tillage, skirted from SW-W-N by a small N-flowing stream. Visible on a Bing aerial photograph as an extensive series of cropmarks covering an area of c. 570m NNE-SSW by c. 415m WNW-ESE, possibly representing the ploughed out remains of a medieval landscape comprising a field system containing a multi-vallate ringfort enclosing a smaller enclosure with cropmarks of possible souterrains, a second, bivallate enclosure and a possible roadway (pers. comm. G. Stout 20-05-2015).
