The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by straight sections of a slight fosse is visible NE-S-NW on Livingatlas satellite imagery from (09/07/2013). The cropmarks of relict drains extend from the perimeter at S and NW. It is also visible as an unclear feature on Google Earth (07/05/2017), and was first reported by Gareth John.
