The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of a S-facing slope. A low subcircular earthwork enclosure (ext. dims c. 55m N-S; c. 48m E-W) that appears to be defined by a low earth bank (Wth c. 5-10m) is most clearly visible on Google Earth (03/04/2021) but can also be seen on Digital Globe (2011-13) and OSI images (2005). The monument is bisected by an ENE-WSW field bank, and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
