The National Monuments Service's description

Within one of three enclosures (DU014-014002-) identified as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDR029; BDR030; AVS035) is a 'tadpole' shaped feature. This is probably the site of a souterrain (Clinton 1998, 122-123). Not visible at ground level. Built over by North Western Business Park.
