The National Monuments Service's description
The River Nore is located c. 250m to the W, c. 170m to the SW, in tillage. An aerial photograph (GB89.P.47, 13 July 1989) shows cropmark of an enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a fosse and with an entrance facing W towards the River Nore. The field boundary visible running roughly E-W N of the enclosure has since been removed.
