The National Monuments Service's description

A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph together with other features that could indicate a possible field system (DU011-127----) (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Slight rise to north-east quadrant of relatively flat field indicates where the site is located. Despite being recently ploughed there were no visible remains at ground level.
