The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an E-facing slope. Identified on an aerial photograph (ASIAP (36) 10 & 12, 03/08/1996) as a rectilinear enclosure in SE corner of field. The enclosure is not visible at ground level. It has been truncated by a modern trackway (long axis E-W) off-centre to the S. A distinctive scarp (Wth 4m; H 0.55m) in field to the E and SE, petering out to SW, may be associated with the enclosure.
