The partial remains of a possible double-ditched curvilinear enclosure are visible on aerial photos (p1). The inner ditched enclosure has a diameter of roughly 28m, and the outer enclosure roughly 34m. The SE part of this possible enclosure is all that is visible. There is an 11m break half way along the length of the outer ditch. The site has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
