The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing pasture slope. Visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ASU 74 (1967)) as the cropmark of a fosse enclosing a rectangular area (est. c. 20m NE-SW; c. 10m NW-SE). No visible surface trace survives. The photograph also shows the cropmarks of a possible rath and associated field system in the next field to the NE.
