The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the N-facing slope of a broad, low hill. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) which is defined by a single fosse feature is visible on digital aerial photographs (WX050-026_1 to _3) from July 2006. It is curtailed by an ENE-WSW field bank at N and a NNW-SSE field bank at E.
