The four linear to slight curvilinear banks are broadly northeast to southwest aligned and occupy an area of approximately 1.17 hectares of west sloping ground. The earthworks are not depicted on the Parish Tithe Map or subsequent maps. They remain partly visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014.
