The National Monuments Service's description
'This enclosure was initially identified from aerial photography but was located in an area where there have been extensive land improvements - all boundaries removed, land ploughed and reseeded as grassland. As such the site is very difficult to trace at ground level, however a short arc of low, broad bank is still visible to the east, The bank remains only as a slight undulation on the ground surface. It is 3.4m wide and has a height of only 0.15m. Effectively the site is completely destroyed at ground level.'
