The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of poorly drained pasture. Depicted on the OS 25-inch (1892) map as a roughly circular area (diam. c 19m NW-SE) defined by a curved bank NW-SW with the remains of an outer curved bank depicted SSE-SW and E-NNE possibly suggesting a fosse (Wth c. 6.5m). When visited in 2000, the possible enclosure had been levelled and no visible surface trace was evident apart from a very slight depression (diam. c. 15m).
