The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (int. dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) defined by a wide fosse (Wth c. 3-5m) is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018; 14/07/2018). There could be an entrance (Wth c. 3m) at N and the perimeter is cut by a NE-SW field bank at NE and overlain by a NE-SW field bank at SE. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
