The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a steep SE-facing slope. The cropmark of enclosure (ME033071----) is on the W side of and part of the perimeter of a large D-shaped or triangular enclosure (max. dims c. 110m NW-SE; c. 85m NE-SW) defined by single fosses or drains. Extending SW from this large enclosure is a series of at least four rectangular fields (dims c. 40m x c. 35m) defined by the cropmarks of drains that have not been recorded on any map. The entire area covers about 15 acres (c. 4.5 ha), and is visible on images recorded from a drone-mounted camera by Ian Lennon on 24/07/2021. The features are also faintly visible on Bluesky images (2018) and Google Earth (24/06/2018).
