The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located immediately to N of a graveyard (MA033-001002-). Two low, grass-covered earthen banks (Wth on top, 1.4-1.9m; H 0.2-0.5m), set c. 24m apart, extend to N from the external face of the enclosing wall at the N side of the graveyard. The E bank extends 25m to N, and the W bank extends 40m. The E bank clearly overlies the early ecclesiastical enclosure (MA033-001008-). They appear to be the remains of field divisions post-dating the ecclesiastical enclosure, and probably also the graveyard wall, and may be of relatively recent date.
