The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a large subcircular area (dims c. 90m NW-SE; c. 75m NE-SW) defined by a single slight fosse or drain is visible only on Google Earth (23/03/2022). The perimeter was incorporated into a curving field bank SW-NW that is represented on the 1838 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
