The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (diams. c. 100m N-S; c. 87m E-W) visible as a cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 28 June 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. The SE portion of the enclosing cropmark is not visible where garden plots have encroached on the enclosure. Within the interior, SE of centre, there is a curving cropmark (L c. 28m). There are a number of later field boundaries crossing the enclosure, which are now also visible as cropmarks. There is another large enclosure (LA025-063----) c. 200m to the S.
