The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 43m NNW-SSE; c. 35m ENE-WSW) but not shown on the later 1900 revision, suggesting it was levelled between 1839 and 1900. It is not visible at ground level, though on Digitalglobe satellite imagery it is visible as a rectangular area where the growth is slightly different from that in the surrounding field.
