The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a small W-E spur of a plateau at the S foot of Carnuff Hill. A D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) defined by a narrow ditch (Wth c. 1m) is visible only on Apple Maps (2018). The straight side is at SE where it is consistently c. 35m from a NE-SW field bank, and there are straight sections at SW and NW also. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
