The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), was identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. There are a number of linear cropmarks running for c. 50m NE-SW to the NE, E and SE of the enclosure which appear to be an associated field system and another possible curvilinear enclosure conjoined to the S of the enclosure.
