The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a rise in a fairly level landscape. A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible as a cropmark on the OSI series of aerial photographs (1995). There is no visible entrance feature. A section of a NNE-SSW road (ME019-029002-) is visible as a cropmark c. 100m to the W. The features were first identified by Ivor Kenny.
