The National Monuments Service's description
Identified from an aerial photograph (Bruff Survey: Map 23, Bruff 45: AP 5/2059) and described by Doody (2008, 134) as a 'oval ditched enclosure, c. 40m x 22m, with possible rectangular annexe, c. 25m x 20m, at SW end'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
