The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a SW-facing slope. It is visible on the OSI series of images (2000) and on Bing images (2013). This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 21.3m NW-SE; 19.7m NE-SW) that slopes down to the SW (H 1.8m) defined by a scarp (H 0.1m at SE to 0.3-0.5m normally) with slight hints of an external fosse (Wth c. 3m) visible as a berm or denser rush-growth. A slight dip in the perimeter (L 4m) at N may indicated the entrance.
