The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope down to the valley of a canalised SE-NW stream. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 15m x c. 15m) defined by wide ditches is visible on Digital Globe images (2011-13). It is also visible on Google Earth (04/07/2008; 30/05/2009; 24/06/2018; 21/04/2019). It was first reported by T. Condit. Field banks of a small system 9ME045-056----) are attached to the perimeter.
