The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a fairly level landscape with the valley of a small N-S stream c. 150m to the W. Archaeological testing (06E0662) identified some features including a ditch (Wth 2.5m; D 0.58m), four small pits (dims c. 0.3-0.6m), one of which produced a sherd of a large Bronze Age vessel, and two gullies, one of which produced flint debitage. The features are preserved in situ. (McLoughlin 2006, 406)
