The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope. An area of c. 2 acres (c. 1 ha) of pasture contains relict field banks with drains on either side creating six rectangular plots (dims c. 15m x c. 20m) on either side of a central N-S bank. There are no house sites visible, and the fields might not be very ancient.
