The National Monuments Service's description
'This site is located in lands that have been extensively improved and fields amalgamated. The site shows up on black & white aerial photography (1998) as a small cropmark indicating a univallate enclosure approximately 25-30m in diameter. There is no definite trace of the site at ground level, though undulations in the ground surface may represent the remains of an earthen bank.'
