The National Monuments Service's description
On level ground in gently undulating terrain, in tillage. On satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified by Jean-Charles Caillère, there is a possible ecclesiastical enclosure consisting of two curvilinear cropmark enclosures, one (diam. c. 55m) immediately surrounding a medieval church (TS068-103----) and an outer roughly D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 80m N-S; c. 110m E-W) which extends S and W of the inner enclosure. Three other enclosures, also visible as cropmarks, are in the immediate vicinity, TS068-152---- c. 50m to the NE, TS068-103002- c. 50m to the S and TS068-103001- c. 10m to the W.
