The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 110m NW-SE; c. 70m NE-SW) defined by a single slight fosse is visible only on Google Earth (21/07/2021). The ditch is absent S-NW, and the enclosure is cut by a N-S field bank towards the W edge. The enclosure is also faintly visible on Digitalglobe (2011-13) and on Aerial Premium (2013-18). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére, and also by Anthony Murphy.
