The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 40m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NNW-SSE) defined by single fosses or moats (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on images recorded on a drone-mounted camera by Anthony Murphy on 30 July 2021. Its sides are parallel with the ENE-WSW road c. 50m to the N and the cropmark of an unmapped field drain c. 25m to the S.
