The National Monuments Service's description
Identified on aerial photograph (Bruff Survey: Map 39, Bruff 21: AP 5/2063). Described by Doody (2008, 136) as a 'subrectangular ditched enclosure, c. 60m x 50m, with possible internal bank', the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
