The National Monuments Service's description
On a gradual N-facing slope, off the flat crest of a ridge, in undulating terrain under tillage. Monument identified as large, possibly oval enclosure on aerial photographs (ASIAP (29) 4-6, 3-8-96). Only the S side of this possible enclosure is defined. Immediately N of the cropmark the ground level drops to the N, gradual natural fall, then the ground levels out before falling steeply to N at the N field boundary. There is no visible trace of the monument above ground. It is likely that if this was an enclosure the N edge was at the N field boundary.
