The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 66m E-W), defined by a fosse (Wth c. 2m) which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps satellite imagery; Google Earth satellite imagery, imagery date 24 March 2023), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. A field boundary, running NNE-SSW, indicated on the revised OS 6-inch map and since levelled, transected the S portion of the enclosure.
