The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight S-facing slope. The cropmark of a curving feature (C c. 160m NW-NE-SE) beginning at a NE-SW field bank at the NW end and curving out to the NE and back to the SE is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP S201/2). It is not visible in a root crop but is in a low part of the fied. This may be a field boundary or an old stream bed.
