The National Monuments Service's description

An oval enclosure (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 47m E-W), the southern portion is defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The northern portion is indicated by a kink in an E-W running field boundary. This kink is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map with a limekiln in the NW angle which suggests there was localised quarrying to feed the kiln. A farm roadway runs E-W through the centre of the enclosure. Other cropmarks to the N and NW appear to relate to a field system (TS068-156----) which may or may not be contemporary with the enclosure.
