The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a S-facing slope. The cropmark of a large oval enclosure (dims c. 105m N-S; c. 75m E-W) is visible only on iMAPs (2022). It is defined by what are probably two closely spaced ditch features NW-E-SE which combine into a wider E-W ditch (L c. 40m) at S and then turns NW. The perimeter is truncated by a N-S field bank at W (L c. 65m) and an E-W field bank runs through the E part. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
