The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in 2013 in the course of a review of LIDAR data where it is visible as a series of small rectangular field-like divisions defined by low linear banks. These divisions are contained within a clearly defined rectangular area (c. 94.5m N-S; 106m E-W) of about 1.06 hectares which has been incorporated along its E side into a field boundary.
