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 Bluesky International during June 2018. It is bisected by the cropmark of a drain from a N-S field bank that is depicted on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The concentric enclosure (LH024-078----) is c. 35m to the WSW, and enclosure (LH024-080----) is c. 45m to the ESE. It was reported first by Anthony Murphy.
