The National Monuments Service's description
A large circular enclosure (diam. c. 65m) visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (16) 6-9, August 1996). A denuded field boundary, pre-dating the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map, runs roughly N-S through the western sector of the monument. A later field boundary, also running roughly N-S, truncates the eastern edge of the enclosure.
