The National Monuments Service's description

In level area of gentle WSW-facing pasture. Earthworks were identified on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 20 July 1968 AVS 64) to the S and SE of Mora Church (TS069-060001-). There are no earthworks visible above ground other than linear depressions where field boundaries had been removed. According to Cahill (1982), a complex of earthworks which had been visible around the church were removed as a result of farm improvements early in 1980.
