The National Monuments Service's description
In level area of pasture to E of old walled garden of Racecourse Hall house. No visible surface trace. Enclosure not marked on either 1840 or latest edition OS 6-inch map but was identified as a roughly circular anomaly (dims. c. 20m N-S; c. 20m E-W) on aerial photograph (GSI S.659/8 April 1974). Land generally level in area of possible monument and natural break of slope adjacent to E may form part of the curvilinear anomaly that was identified on aerial photograph. Linear depression to SE of this may further simulate a curvature. Possible natural feature, although inconclusive without proper excavation. Ringfort (TS069-039----) located 490m to NE.
