The National Monuments Service's description
A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph. A circular enclosure and field system (DU011-121---- & DU011-122----) occur in the same field to the south (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). The ground rises noticeably in the area of the site within a field that slopes gradually from north to south towards the Broadmeadow river. No visible remains at ground level.
