The National Monuments Service's description
Located just off the crest of the E-facing slope of Gorey Hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 39mk E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by a single fosse SW-N-SE is visible only on Apple Maps (2018) but the perimeter is incorporated into a field bank SE-SW where there is a slight kink in a NE-SW field bank. Enclosure (WX006-099----) is c. 110m to the NE, and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
