The National Monuments Service's description

Archaeological testing of an extensive area on the outskirts of Aglish village c. 150m SW of the church (WA034-003001-) produced a number of post-holes, stake-holes, ditches, and a soil spread. Some Neolithic pottery was recovered from some of the features (Tierney 2010).
