The National Monuments Service's description
A series of visible crop marks on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 together with other features that could indicate a possible field system and enclosures spread over a large area (see also DU005-086----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Appears to contain a roughly circular enclosure (DU005-088----). Located within relatively low arable land with views south up to Baldongan Church (DU005-037001-). No visible remains.
