The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmarks of some wide field drains (Wth c. 3m) delineate some large fields (dims c. 90m x c. 60m) while lighter drains create smaller more regular fields (dims c. 25m x c. 20m) relating to them on Apple Maps. The fields are from an unmapped field system covering an area of c. 2.5ha (c. 7 acres), but no house sites are identified. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
