The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a large arable field c. 1.2km SE of the complex of ecclesiastical monuments at Gracedieu (DU007-015001- to DU007-015010-). An unnamed W-E running stream is located c. 69m to the S and SW. The enclosure can be seen on Google Earth coverage and where it is visible as a positive cropmark (12 July 2013) and as a negative cropmarks (2 June 2016). The Google Earth imagery appears to indicate an subcircular enclosure (ext. diams c. 35m NE–SW and c. 32m NW–SE) defined by bank (Wth c. 2m). There is no clear evidence for an entrance gap through the bank.
