The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 32m; ext. diam. c. 38m) defined by two fosses is partially visible on Google Earth (18/06/2018). Both ditches are visible WNW-NW and NE-SE, and traces of the outer ditch are also visible at WSW and W. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by faint ditches is visible in the interior. The enclosure is also faintly visible on Google Earth (12/07/2013) and it was first reported by Simon Kendrick.
