The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the E end of a low E-W ridge. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 27m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by a slight fosse feature (Wth c. 1m) and with the straight side at NW is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. Enclosure (LH024-079----) is c. 45m to the WNW. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
