The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed grassland. Cropmark of subrectangular-shaped area (approx. int. dims. 34m E-W) defined by a ditch visible on Digital Globe orthophoto taken 2011-13 and earlier OSi orthoimages. Cropmark of earthwork visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/02/2009. Drainage ditches visible in field, this earthwork may be related to post-1700 land reclamation groundworks. Alternatively could be the remains of a possible moated site.
