The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. A sub-square enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S), the fosse of which was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ATA007, 16 July 1967). Though less well defined, there appears to be an adjoining sub-rectangular cropmark enclosure to the S with a curving fosse running SE from the latter’s SE angle. Possibly part of a field system.
