The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dim c. 55m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2019). It has a large pit outside the perimeter at E, and is cut by a NNE-SSW field bank just E of the centre. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
