The National Monuments Service's description
Located almost 90m south-east of enclosure (DU008-052----) this enclosure was identified on aerial photography along with a field system (DU008-052003-) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Geophysical survey by the Discovery Programme LIARI Project identified a positive annular band measuring 2m in average width and 32m in diameter. Several small, pit‐type anomalies and a semi‐circular band of enhanced magnetic responses were recorded inside the enclosure and could conceivably represent the remains of a building (Dowling 2013, 15).
