The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight S-facing slope at the edge of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions, except upslope to N. In a field called 'Castle Meadows'. These earthworks (KK010-116001-) were identified (ASI fieldwork 4 August 1987) 80m to the SE of others earthworks associated with a castle (KK010-116----). They appear to be connected by a trackway.
