The National Monuments Service's description
This ring-ditch is located towards the middle of a large field on a S facing slope just above the Broadmeadow River. The surrounding landscape is gently rolling terrain. Views are restricted to N and W by adjacent hedgerows but are extensive to the W and S. It is one of three cropmarks identified within this field (DU011-105---- and DU011-161----) (O' Connell 2014). The cropmark consists of a univallate circular enclosure (diam. 35m) defined by a fosse (diam. 35m) lying just SSW of DU011-105---- and WSW of DU011-160----.
