The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the base of an E-facing slope down to a meandering alternate N-S course of the River Cam. The cropmark of a rectangular area (dims c. 55m NNE-SSW; c. 40m WNW-ESE) defined by straight fosses or moats (Wth c. 2m) on each side but probably backing onto the wooded stream at E is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018; 17/09/2019). It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
