Map

1996.
Former watercourse channel extends into site from southwest for about 40m and then stops at an apparent artificial barrier dam. Irregular undulations to northeast, including ditches and platforms do not generally have any form, but two areas are sufficiently regular to be of interest. One is a sub-rectangular ditched enclosure, about 10m x 8m with southern narrower and slightly curved. To west, and adjacent is a about 20m x 20m ditched enclosure with raised southern third, up to 0.3m above rest of field.
(S1) suggests other enclosures but very degraded.
