The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by a fosse feature is eccentrically placed within a larger circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 2-5m). It is visible only on Google Earth (29/06/2018), and an elongated enclosure (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature extends off to the NNW from the outer fosse at NW. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
