The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on Bing images (c. 2013), this feature was first brought to attention by Katherine McCormick. It is located at the W edge of a fairly high plateau and at the crest of a NW-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-5.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m) N-E and S-W. There is no identifiable entrance.
