The National Monuments Service's description

A large circular enclosure (diam. c. 230m) is visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OS Aerial Premium (2012-2018). A defining bank is visible N-NNE and the curve appears to continue on through scrub from NNE to E and possibly from ESE to SW. The line is obscured by scrub SW to NW. At NW another short portion of bank (L c. 25m) is visible and the curve of the road NW-N seems to respect the line of the enclosure. Three smaller enclosures (CL009-061----, CL009-062---- and CL009-284----) lie just S of centre and other subdivisions are visible in the S half. A cairn (CL009-265----) lies just outside the bank at NW.
