The National Monuments Service's description
A large curvilinear enclosure (dims. c. 63m N-S; c. 72m E-W) with an outer, roughly concentric enclosure (dims. c. 91m N-S; c. 87m E-W) visible as a faint cropmark on Google Earth (imagery date 28 June 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. The outer enclosure is roughly 8-10m outside the inner enclosure, however, in the NE quadrant this gap widens to c. 18m.
