Full Description

A rectilinear enclosure, visible as a cropmark on the 2007 Google Earth image and the 1990 aerial photos.

West, south, and east sides of a roughly rectangular enclosure, with chamfered corners. West side measures 35m; SW corner at 45 degrees measures 18m; south side 22m; SE corner at 45 degrees 22m; east side 30m. There is an entrance measuring 4m centrally located in the SE corner.

A small, slightly curving, linear measuring c.17m, with a gap in the middle may be part of an internal feature, or a feature of another date. Two large irregular splodges are located to the north of the enclosure. These may be collapsed deneholes, which may explain why the enclosure is missing its northern end.
