The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A sub-rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 44m N-S; c. 53m E-W) with rounded corners, defined by a fosse identified as a cropmark by Jean-Charles Caillère, Simon Dowling and Séamus Ó Murchú on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 25 June 2018 and 14 July 2018). The fosse on the W side of the enclosure continues c. 30m southward beyond the enclosure. There is also a fosse (L c. 80m) running c. 5m from and parallel to the N fosse of the enclosure which appears to turn S and meet the enclosure towards the W end of its N side.
