The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a hill. The faint cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a narrow fosse is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. The perimeter is cut by a wide SW-NE trench at NW and what might be a large quarry is on the perimeter NW-NE. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
