The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a slight fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (WX053-093_1 to _3) from 2006. This feature is separated (Wth c. 5-10m) from an outer, wider fosse feature (Wth c. 3-4m). No entrances are visible (ext. dims c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W), but the W edge of the monument is not visible in a root crop.
