The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope. The cropmark of a D-shaped area (dim c. 40m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse is visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021). The straight side (L c. 25m) is at SW, and it is cut by a WNW-ESE field drain from the field system that is depicted on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is also faintly visible on Digital Globe (2011-13), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
