The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the E-facing spine of a small and low W-E spur. The faint cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 48m N-S; c. 42m E-W) defined by a single slight fosse is most clearly visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021) but is also visible on Apple Maps (2018). It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
