The National Monuments Service's description
Cropmark of small circular-shaped enclosure or possible ditch-barrow (approx. diam. 4m) visible on Google Earth aerial photograph taken 28/06/2018. The small size of the cropmark may indicate this is the cropmark of a livestock ring-feeder rather than a prehistoric barrow.
