The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low W-E spur. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a single fosse and with the straight side at N is visible only on an Aerial Premium image (2013-18). The cropmark of an unmapped E-W field drain runs almost parallel with the perimeter at N c. 10-15m distant and there a slight inner fosse c. 10m inside the curved section SE-SW. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
