What is recorded here

Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 45m; ext. diam. c. 80m) defined by a wider inner fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) and slighter outer fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (3) 33-37). There is a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse feature inside the inner enclosure, No entrances can be detected, but a drain or narrow stream connects the defining features radially at NW and a similar feature connects them at SSE and extends further in this direction.
