The National Monuments Service's description
A wide break in the bank at the E of an enclosure (SL013-026001-) gives access to a small field annexe (Wth. 8m N-S) defined at N and S by earthen field banks. The N bank extends from the NE of the enclosure for 27m to the ENE where it intersects with a second field bank aligned N-S. This extends in a sinuous line to the S for between 60m and 70m roughly following the contours of the natural rise. The field banks vary in width (Wth 1.5-3.5m) and external height (H 0.8-1.3m). The variation in height is largely due to the natural changes in ground level.
