The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a gentle E-facing slope, with a N-S stream c. 20m to the E and a NW-SE tributary immediately to the N. A circular, grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 30m E-W; c. 25m N-S) that appears to be defined by a low earthen bank and a visible external fosse (ext. diam. c. 40m NW-SE) is visible on all the aerial series but especially Google Earth. The perimeter is probably eroded at N by the tributary stream, and the monument was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
