The National Monuments Service's description
The faint cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 33m E-W; c. 20m N-S) defined by a single fosse W-N-E is only visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The perimeter appears to be entirely missing E-S-W but is overlaid by N-S and E-W field drains. It was reported separately by Anthony Murphy and Matthew Mullen-Reynolds.
