The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmarks of a rectangular field system represented by single drains and covering c. 5 acres (2 ha) is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDI 93). The fields are those represented on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and not ancient, but underlying them are three small enclosures (WX048-040001-; WX048-040002-; WX048-040003-).
