The National Monuments Service's description
This was one of three earthworks/enclosures identified as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDR029; BDR030; AVS035) taken on 18/07/1970. It was an irregular oval in plan (dims. 40m E-W; 30m N-S). Probably a levelled ringfort. Not visible at ground level. Built over by the North Western Business Park.
