The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the W edge of a rise on a broad E-W ridge. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 33m N-S) defined by a single narrow fosse is visible only on Aerial Premium (2013-2018). The perimeter might be slightly truncated by a N-S field bank at W. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
