The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope below the crest of a hill, in very undulating terrain, in tillage. Land dips immediately N of the enclosure. Views are fair to good to the N and E, very good to the W and limited upslope to the S. Identified on an aerial photograph (GB90.BM.34), which shows a cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
