The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 55m NE-SW: c. 50-55m NW-SE) defined by fosse or drain features is visible on Google Earth (07/05/2017; 24/06/2018). It is bisected by the cropmark of a N-S drain, and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
