The National Monuments Service's description
Located within an enclosure (MA038-017----). On the 1838 OS 6-inch map a circular feature or possible enclosure (diam. c. 20m) is shown within the S half of a large subcircular enclosure (MA038-017----). It is shown abutting or possibly sharing the bank at SE–S of the larger enclosure (diam. c. 60m). The larger enclosure is extant, but there is no surface trace of the smaller possible enclosure.
