The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. The parch-mark in grass of a circular area (int. diam. c. 15m) defined by a wide continuous fosse or track (Wth c. 5m) is visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It could be the result of horse-training, and it was first reported by Justin Kenny.
