The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Visible on a 1995 OSi Orthophoto and also on later Google earth and Bing satellite imagery as the cropmarks of two concentric fosses enclosing a circular area (estimated diameter c. 40m). A second, very faint cropmark c. 50m to the SE may be the remains of a ringbarrow. (pers. comm. D. Brennan, 30-03-2015).
