The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 11-12), and situated on the S bank of the River Suck at a bend where the E-W river turns S and then E. The W-E Island River joins the Suck at this point. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims c. 85m WNW-ESE; c. 50m NNE-WSW) defined by the river SE-W-NE and by a curved earthen bank (Wth 6m; int. H 0.5-0.6m; ext. H 0.65-1.25m) NE-SE, with a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 9.4m; Wth of base 3m; D 0.35m) E-SE. There is an entrance (Wth 2.6m) through the bank at SE.
