The National Monuments Service's description
Visible as a faint circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 8-9), and situated on a gentle NE-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (diam. 83m NW-SE; 74m NE-SW) defined by the remains of a fosse (Wth of top 8-12.8m; Wth of base 4-6.6m; int. D 0.2-0.4m; ext. D 0.2-0.4m) SE-W-NE. It is bisected by a NW-SE field wall, but the E quadrant where a rectangular enclosure or annexe (RO034-044002-) (dims c. 30m x c. 30m) was visible (ASIAP (281) 29-32) attached to the perimeter has been reclaimed and this feature can no longer be seen.
