OS 6-inch map as a sub-circular enclosure intersected by post-1700 field boundaries at N, SSE and SSW. On the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map the enclosure is depicted as a sub-rectangular shaped field intersected by post-1700 field boundary ay S and W. Visible as tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photograph. Present remains consist of a sub-circular shaped slightly raised area (approx. diam. 30m N-S; 19m E-W ) defined by a poorly preserved earthen bank and shallow fosse visible from N-E-SE only. Intersected by field boundaries at W & S. Possible entrance gap at SE (Wth 1.7m). The raised interior slopes from S to N. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running E-W across the surface of the interior.
