The National Monuments Service's description
The cropmarks of four enclosures in a small area (dims c. 150m N-S; x c 150m E-W) on a fairly level landscape are visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The cropmark of a W-E drain or small stream runs through the area, and another stream attaches to it from the N. This circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m E-W) defined by a slight fosse is c. 30m S of the stream, and it predates the oval enclosure (LH022-056003-) attached to its N side. It was reported separately by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds and Anthony Murphy at about the same time.
