The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W bank of the S-N Larah River. A large, low and grass-covered earthwork is most clearly visible in parched conditions on Apple Maps. It appears to consist of a central circular area (diam. c. 22m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base c. 5m) from a wide outer bank (Wth c. 10m) and an external fosse (Wth c. 10m). No entrance can be detected, although there might be a second outer bank (max. ext. diam. c. 75m). It is also visible on OSI images (2005-2012) and it is faintly traceable on Google Earth (08/04/2020; 13/04/2020).
