The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a steep S-facing slope. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 25m E-W; c. 23m N-S) defined by wide fosses (Wth c. 2-3m) that are convex in plan and with rounded corners was recorded with a drone-mounted camera by Ian Lennon on 24/07/2021. There is a pit (diam. c. 3m) inside the NW corner. The perimeter at S is very slight and is aligned with an unmapped E-W field drain that conforms with the fields mapped on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is also visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021).
