The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, in lowlying, flat terrain stretching at NE to an expanse of wettish reclaimed land. Ground level rises gradually for c. 125m to SSW towards a low elevation on which another enclosure (MA119-042----) is located.
A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 35m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level.
