The National Monuments Service's description

Located in a large arable field c. 800m SSW of Lusk Round Tower (DU008-010003-), cropmarks indicate the presence of the subsurface remains of a large circular enclosure. Small unnamed stream located c. 56m to the E. The cropmarks, visible on Google Earth imagery (June 2018), indicate an enclosure (ext. diam. c. 39.5m) defined by a ditch (Wth c. 1m) that is most clearly visible on the above aerial imagery along the W perimeter. The is no evidence for an entrance gap through the enclosure.
