The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 46m NW-SE; c. 38m NE-SW) visible as a cropmark is visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 14 July 2019), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The NW portion of the enclosure is well defined while the remainder is quite faint. A field boundary, also visible as a cropmark but indicated on the 1st (1840-1) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1903-04 revision, runs NE-SW across the southern portion of the enclosure.
