The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a prominent hillock. A grass-covered oval enclosure (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 33m N-S) that is probably defined by a fosse (Wth c. 3-6m) SW-N-SE is visible on Google Earth (16/03/2021). It is traversed by a relict NE-SW field bank that is depicted on the 1908 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The enclosure is also visible on an OSI image (2005-12), Digital Globe (2011-13) and Aerial Premium (2013-18) images as well as other Google Earth images. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
