The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 110m N-S; c. 145m E-W), defined by a fosse, identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 22 June 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère. This may be an ecclesiastical enclosure. On the 1927 ed. 6-inch OS map a ‘Cill (Site of)’ or burial ground (WA005-002----) is indicated immediately NW of the large enclosure. This is located within a roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 83m NE-SW; c. 33m NW-SE) adjoining the NW quadrant of the large enclosure and is also only visible as a cropmark.
