The National Monuments Service's description
The Drish River flows c. 100m to the N, in tillage. A large oval enclosure (overall dims. c. 90m N-S; c. 75m E-W), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Bing), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Field boundaries immediately N and W of the enclosure were levelled between June 2018 and April 2020. Another field boundary runs roughly N-S along the E side of the monument. A ringfort (TN042-014----) lies c. 160m to the NW on the opposite side of the river.
