The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a hillock that was once within the demesne of Cornacasse, with the house c. 300m to the WNW. A small circular raised earthwork (diam. of top c. 23m) is visible on Google Earth (07/02/2019). It does not appear on any map but was first reported in 2018 from a LiDAR image by Susan Curran, and was also noted on the Google Image by Jean Charles Caillère.
