The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30m E-W) is visible on aerial images (ME030-041_1 to _3) taken by a drone-mounted camera in July 2018. It has rounded corners and is defined by a wide fosse or moat feature (Wth c. 4-6m) on every side. It may be a moated site.
