The National Monuments Service's description
Circular enclosure identified as a crop mark on Bing (viewed 03/01/2015). The enclosure (c.30m diam.) appears to predate a field boundary that formed the western limit of Kit’s Green and the townland boundary between Common and Corrstown. The field boundary has since been removed. It is possible that this site is the ‘supposed site of old Fort or Burying Ground’ marked on the 1st edition OS map.
