The National Monuments Service's description
Geophysical survey (Licence no. 05R062) in advance of a proposed landfill identified a circular enclosure. Test excavation (Licence no. 05E1063) confirmed the presence of a sub-circular enclosure (33m diam.) There are a number of internal features suggestive of dwellings. Animal bone and burnt material was recovered from the ditch (1.1m depth) but no datable material (Lohan 2006, 24). Situated on the northern slope of an east-west ridge.
