The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture. A stream runs roughly E-W c. 120m to the N. Two circular ring-ditches (diam. c. 20m), both visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 23 January 2021), as the cropmark of a fosse, identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The westerly ring-ditch (TN036-060----) is c. 26m W of the other, similarly sized, ring-ditch (TN036-061----). There are faint traces of other possible curvilinear cropmarks of similar dimensions in the immediate vicinity, to the NW, SW and S of the most westerly ring-ditch.
