The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight rise in a flat low-lying area with a canalised N-S stream c. 90m to the W, and the relict channels of the old stream are still visible. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 22m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by what appears to be an earthen bank and an external fosse. It is visible on Google Earth and MapGenie images but is clearest on MapGenie (2007-2012). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.

See the attached enhanced views from MapGenie _1 (2005-2012); _2 (2011-2013)
