The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a possible circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 30m) on the 1st ed. (1839) of the OS 6-inch map, on the W bank of the River Barrow. In 1985 it was noted that the feature appeared to have been covered by material dredged from the river, although traces of possible circular platform were visible, extending W from under the dredged material (SMR File). The area is now densely planted with ash trees and there is no obvious visible surface trace of the feature noted previously.
