The National Monuments Service's description

Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere; visible on Digital Globe imagery (2011-2013) and on Apple aerial imagery as a central circular area (diam. c. 15m) within a larger enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by the cropmark of a curving fosse NE-S-W. Between W and N and from N to NE the site appears to be defined by the cropmark of a linear feature which may be a later drain. An ESB pole stands on the S perimeter.
