The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of a broad NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 4m) was recorded using a drone-mounted camera operated by Justin Kenny in July 2018. The enclosure has a wide entrance (Wth c. 5m) at E and the standing stone (ME018-020----) is situated close to its centre. A ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m) defined by a single narrow ditch is visible inside the perimeter at S on the drone image. Four pits evenly distributed immediately inside the ring-ditch are also visible on the drone image. The larger enclosure is now bisected by a NE-SW field bank. It is also visible on OS images (2017) and on Google Earth (07/05/2017). The enclosure (ME018-020003-) is c. 20m to the SW and enclosure (ME018-020005-) is c. 10m to the SSE.
