The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a rise towards the bottom of an E-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 3m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The ring-ditch (LH022-057002-) is c. 25m to the N. The features were first reported by Anthony Murphy.
