The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field, c. 200m ESE of the site of Hacketstown House, cropmarks indicate the presence of the subsurface remains of a ring-ditch. The ring-ditch, visible on Apple Maps imagery (June 2018), comprises a circular feature (ext. diam. c. 15m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 2m). There are no indications of any gap across the ditch. Other irregular cropmarks in the immediate environs may represent the subsurface remains of periglacial features.
