The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately S of a farmstead in an area of gently undulating grassland.
A roughly oval embanked enclosure (c. 22-25m N−S; c. 35m E−W) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; an arc of hachuring curving NW−SE is shown on the 1930 edition. This enclosure has been levelled and subsumed into a garden and farmyard associated with the farmstead. There is no visible trace at ground level.
