The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 32m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a fosse SW-N-SE is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018) but its line SE-SW abuts a broad curve in an E-W stream. There is an outer enclosure (dim. c. 65m E-W) defined an outer fosse placed c. 10m outside the inner that is visible W-N-E and the fosses are connected by three channels. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
