The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight rise overlooking a small basin (diam. c. 300m N-S; c. 300m E-W) just to the W. A circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 50m; ext. diam. c. 65m) defined by two fosse features is recorded in a gradiometer survey (18R0118) of a development area. The features were only recorded W-N-SE, but an internal oval feature (dims c. 15m x c.10m) defined by a fosse or ditch is in the interior. (Murphy and Breen 2021, 7)
