The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on a SW-facing slope. A small subcircular enclosure (dims c. 31m NE-SW; c. 28m NW-SE) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018), but the perimeter is not readily traceable SW-NNW. It is also visible on OSI images (1995), Google Earth (July 2013) and Digital Globe (2013), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
