The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Another faint curvilinear enclosure (KK015-095----) is visible immediately to the N. This latter may be conjoined with, or could possibly pre-date, the former enclosure.
