The National Monuments Service's description
Adjoining enclosure (TS061-129003-) to S. D-shaped enclosure (dims. 50m straight side at S; 23m N-S) defined by low, levelled scarp (Wth 1.5m; H 0.3m) W-E and fosse (basal Wth 1.6m; overall Wth 3.8m; Dth 0.15m) W-E. Traces of a rectangular enclosure (dims. 6m ENE-WSW; 5m NNW-SSE) off-centre to NW are defined by a gentle depression, best seen to SSE and WSW-sides. Other features appear to be visible to S, but in no discernible pattern. Linear earthwork (TS061-129004-) adjoins to ENE and other possible earthworks are to NW and N.
