The National Monuments Service's description
A large circular area (max. diam. c. 100m) is defined by a low, curving scarp (H 0.3-0.5m) traceable intermittently NNW-E-S, the line of which is respected for the rest of it's course S-W-NNW by a curving road. A farmyard occupies the N portion of the interior. A medieval church (KD011-015001-) stands near the centre of the enclosure which also contains a possible graveyard (KD011-015003-).
