The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the gentle SW-facing slope of a low NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a rectangular area (int. dims c. 27m NW-SE; c. 24m NE-SW; ext. dims c. 36m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by two sets of fosses placed c. 4m apart is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The outer fosse at NE is adjacent to a WNW-ESE field bank, but the NE quadrant on the interior is damaged by a wide U-shaped trench descending from and returning to the field bank. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
