The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on reclaimed grassland. Large irregular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 66m N-S x 105m E-W) bisected by a post-1700 field boundary clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photography. Could be the remains of a large raised field associated with land drainage as there is evidence of field drains running off NE and SE angles of earthwork.
