The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture with a stream rising c. 100m to the SE. A roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 50m), defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The enclosure is not indicated on the 1st (1840) or 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch map, but a small pond (dims. c. 16m x 12m) is indicated on the 2nd ed. map and is visible on the satellite imagery in the interior of the W sector, near the outer edge. A field boundary runs roughly N-S along the W side of the enclosure and appears to be kinking out to respect it. There is an enclosure (TS059-046----) located c. 170m to the NNW and another enclosure (TS059-050----) c. 315m to the SSE.
