The National Monuments Service's description
A possible rectilinear enclosure with slightly rounded corners (dims. c. 30m) is visible as a cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP BGN093, 19 July 1971). The N side is quite faint and may not be a fosse. The W side appears to extend northward beyond the possible enclosure. It may be that these cropmarks are of old field boundaries and other natural features which are giving the appearance of an enclosure. It is not visible at ground level.
