The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the E end of the summit of the low E-W ridge of Windmill Hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. 50m) defined by a fosse NE-S-NW is visible on Google Earth (18/06/2017; 21/04/2019). On the earlier image it appears to have narrow bank (Wth c. 3m), and it was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
