The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the summit of a broad NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by two narrow fosse features that appear to consist of contiguous pits was recorded using a drone-mounted camera operated by Justin Kenny in July 2018. Inside the inner ditch at N four pits form a rectangular structure (dims c. 6m X c. 3m). Enclosure (ME018-020001-) is c. 20m to the NE and enclosure (ME018-020005-) is c. 15m to the E. This enclosure is also visible on OSI images (2017) and on Google Earth (07/05/2017).
