The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as an oval enclosure (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. On the 1899-1902 revision of this map only the northern half of the enclosure is indicated suggesting the southern half had been levelled by this date. Only a length of perimeter, obscured by scrub, is visible in the N quadrant on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 27 September 2021), otherwise the enclosure has been levelled.
