The National Monuments Service's description
A stream ran N-S c. 100m to the E. A roughly oval enclosure (dims. c. 52m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE) defined by a fosse which is visible as cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Within the interior, S of centre, there is a suggestion of a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) defined by a fosse. There is another larger curvilinear feature c. 10m to the SW which is also visible as a cropmark but these may be the result of natural water pooling.
