The National Monuments Service's description
In slightly undulating pasture. Depicted on current edition OS 6-inch map as L-shaped earthwork (L c. 70m N-S) with a return (long-axis WNW-ESE) to W (L c. 60m) at N-end. Remains consist of levelled earthwork defined by slight scarped edge (L c. 75m; Wth 3.5m; H 0.3m) (long-axis E-W) which formed N arm of earthwork. This feature would seem to be the remains of a raised avenue shown on the 1840 OS map leading to the country house Castle Lloyd; this house does not survive.
