The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slightly raised rib running roughly parallel with a SSW-NNE section of the River Nanny on its W bank. What might be a narrow roadway (Wth c. 3m) or a field bank defined by parallel ditch features on either side is c. 30-90m distant from the river, the distance being greater at the S end. The road can be seen (L c. 220m) on Google Earth (12/072013) and on OSI images (1995).
