The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in a col with slightly higher ground c. 100-150m to the NE and SW and lower ground to the NW and SE. A circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 30m) defined by what is probably a low grass-covered earthen bank (Wth c. 5-10m) is visible in low winter sunlight on Google Earth (Jan 2020), and less clearly on some earlier Google images. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
