The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a localised rise in a fairly level landscape. Faint traces of a possible ring-ditch consisting of a circular area (diam. c. 10m) defined by a slight ditch are visible on two aerial images recorded from a drone-mounted camera. The survey was undertaken in an archaeological assessment of a new development. (Coen 2019, 11, figs 5, 6)
