The National Monuments Service's description
Cropmark of trapezoidal-shaped enclosure or moated site (approx. dims. 46m NW-SE x 43m NE-SW) visible on Google Earth aerial photograph taken 28/06/2018. Faint outline of cropmark visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Cropmark of extensive field system of uncertain antiquity with cropmark of possible medieval roadway in S quadrant of field. The straight linear nature of the field system and the way it cuts across the cropmark of the possible road may suggest a post-1700 date. Ardscull Moat (KD035-010001-) 495m to E.
