The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope at the N extent of a karst plateau and within an extensive field system (CL009-021001-). A large enclosure (c. 94m E-W; c. 82m N-S) defined by a curving grass-covered wall from SE to NW visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi orthophotography (MapGenie 2013-2018), elsewhere defined by irregular field boundaries. An enclosure (CL009-234----) and house site (CL009-234001-) are centrally placed within. A later field boundary crosses over the S arc. Many contiguous settlement enclosures occupy the N slopes of the plateau immediately to the SE.
