The National Monuments Service's description
Raised subrectangular area (c. 23m NNW-SSE; c. 19m ENE-WSW) enclosed by two low earthen banks with shallow intermediate fosse. The fosse and outer bank are much denuded due to cattle trampling. No entrance is recognisable. It is similar to another square enclosure (LF015-034----) - now levelled - c. 100m to the NW and the remains probably are a landscape feautre within the demesne of Lissard House.
