The National Monuments Service's description
A colour vertical aerial photograph taken in 1992 (OS 8, 1526) shows a cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 28m) with traces of fosses radiating from the NW and E. This is probably a levelled ringfort with associated field system. Formerly located in a field of corn in a low-lying area south of the Broadmeadow River, it is now under the Applewood housing estate.
