The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018). It is within an outer enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by the cropmark of another fosse feature SE-W-NW but it is cut by an ENE-WSW field bank at N and is indistinct on the E side.
