The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a shelf on a S-facing slope. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 43m NNE-SSW; c. 32m WNW-ESE) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2m) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. There is a second outer fosse c. 3m outside the defining feature around the curved part SE-SW, and a larger enclosure defined by the cropmarks of similar fosses could be attached to the E. Its full extent is not known as only the features approaching from the NE and SE are visible. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
