In grounds of sugarbeet factory. Indicated as arc of field fence (S->NNW) on 1842, 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps; field fence (E-W) crosses site just N of centre. Aerial photograph (CUCAP, ATD85, July 1967), shows arc of field fence, possibly remains of bank, and cropmark of fosse (NNW->SSE) which appears to be external to projected line of bank. Faint arc of non-concentric inner fosse roughly E->S. Possibly remains of ringfort (diam c. 60m). No visible surface trace; area now covered by settlement lagoons.
