The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a gentle W-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 2-4m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018). There is a gap (Wth c. 8m) at NNE and a smaller enclosure (diam. c. 20m) could be attached to the fosse at W. It is also visible on OSI Aerial (c. 2018) and Digital Globe (c. 2013), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
