The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on a NE-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by a single feature that might be an earthen bank is visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009). It is also faintly visible on Google Earth (27/05/2019) and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
