The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the summit of a low E-W ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse is visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. It is within a second enclosure (dims c. 77m E-W; c. 62m N-S) defined by a fosse but this enclosure is truncated by an E-W field bank at S and no feature is visible in grass S of this. The outer enclosure has an entrance (Wth c. 5m) at E, and enclosure (LH024-079----) is c. 35m to the ENE. It is also faintly visible on OSI images (1995) as a positive cropmark on Digital Globe (c. 2013). It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
