The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll that is on a gentle S-facing slope. The cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 40m ENE-WSW; c. 35m NNW-SSE) defined by a slight fosse is visible only on Apple Maps (2018). It may have an internal enclosure (diam. c. 15m) and both enclosure are cut but a NW-SE field bank. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
