The National Monuments Service's description
Outline of square-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 40m N-S x 37m E-W23m) visible on Google earth aerial imagery. Could be the remains of a small field or sheep-fold of post-1700 date. Uncertain about the antiquity of this feature as the sharp profile of the enclosing bank appears to indicate post-1700 date rather than pre-1700.
