The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on a NNE-facing slope. Listed in the SMR (1991) and RMP (1997) as ‘earthwork’. The original source of information is unknown. Inspected in 1996, there was no visible trace of archaeological remains at ground level. The nature of this possible earthwork is very uncertain.
