The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmarks of a field system covering about 1.75 ha (c. 4 acres) are visible on images recorded from a drone-mounted camera on 30 July 2021 by Anthony Murphy. The fields, defined by single drains (Wth c. 1-2m), are rectangular (dims c. 50m x c. 20-50m), and they probably post-date the circular enclosure (ME020-0092001-) as a drain from the fields cuts the enclosure.
