The site is very difficult to see at ground level, though the approximate line of the enclosing element appears to be indicated by a very low undulation in the ground surface, visible on the eastern side. Aerial photography clearly indicates the presence of a circular enclosure approximately 55m in diameter. The presence of a darker line inside the undulation in the ground surface on the eastern side of the site may suggest that the enclosure is internally ditched.'
