A single bank rectilinear enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (p1). It is roughly 53m x 51m, and is open along its east length. It is possible that the east edge is simply not visible; this cannot be concluded from the aerial photograph evidence alone. The feature has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
