The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight S-facing slope. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 20m NE-SW; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by a single narrow fosse is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There is a small rectangular enclosure (dims c. c. 7m NE-SW; c. 7m NW-SE) defined by slight fosses attached to the S end of the NE side, and this side itself is attached to the cropmark of a NNW-SSE field drain which, although unmapped, is probably related to the field system as depicted on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Faith Bailey.
