The National Monuments Service's description
A roughly square-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 47m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) defined by a single fosse feature with rounded corners is visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (Bing 2013). Its E side is parallel with a filed bank immediately to its E. (pers. comm. T. Condit)
