The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 35m x c. 30m) defined by a single fosse is visible on an oblique aerial photograph taken by the Discovery Programme c. 1992. Although the area is now developed as a housing estate this plot remains undeveloped.
