The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a NW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 12m) defined by a single fosse with expanded terminals around an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at ENE. The ring-ditch (ME025-071002-) is c. 15m to the SSW and enclosure (ME025-071003-) is c. 140m to the ESE. The ring-ditches were first recorded on a drone-mounted camera by Justin Kenny in August 2018. This ring-ditch is also visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018.
