The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gently undulating, low-lying landscape. The cropmarks of four enclosures are visible only on Apple Maps (2021). Three of them are intertwined, and the fourth is c. 50m to the NE. This is the smallest of the intercutting features. It is a circular area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 1m). The cropmark of an unmapped NE-SW field drain runs through the three enclosures. The complex was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
