The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a short surviving section of a NW-SE esker ridge. A subrectangular grass-covered enclosure (dims c. 36m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks with many gaps is visible on Google Earth (24/03/2017; 16/03/2021) and Apple Maps. It has a raised circular feature (diam. c. 10m) at its centre, and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
