The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. A section of a NNE-SSW road (L c. 200m) is visible on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995) as the cropmarks of two ditches running NNE-SSW and placed c. 5-10m apart. They are c. 100m W of enclosure (LH019-029001-). The features were first identified by Ivor Kenny.
