The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a broad hill. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 8m) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 1-2m) is visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International conducted during June 2018. It has an entrance (Wth c. 3m) at NW. The ring-ditch was first reported by Justin Kenny, who recorded images of it from a drone-mounted camera in August 2018, but it was also noted separately by Anthony Murphy.
