The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight N-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture, with natural ground level sloping down gently from the annexe on the E and S sides. The enclosure, possibly an annexe, abuts the SE side of a moated site (TS058-049---) and consists of a roughly rectangular area (dims. 30m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE) defined by a low broad earthen scarp (Wth 3.6m; H 0.3m). The scarp encloses the annex from NE-WNW with the external bank of the moated site completing the circuit WNW-NE. The scarped edge is best preserved SE-WNW being very faint elsewhere. A 3m long section of what may be an original earthen bank (overall Wth 3m; Wth at top 1m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.45m) survives at the NW corner where the annexe abuts the external bank of the moated site. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
