The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight rise in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 2-5m) is visible on Google Earth (21/07/2021). A second fosse is attached outside at NE and can be traced NE-E-S, c. 10-20m from the defining fosse and may have formed an annexe. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
