The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a large suboval enclosure (dims c. 130m NW-SE; c. 95m NE-SW) on the 1837 and 1928 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a natural rise in the floodplain of the River Suck, a SE-NW section of which is c. 130m to the SW. This is an oval field defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.75m; H 1.1m), but it is not ancient.
