The National Monuments Service's description
Located just at the crest of the N-facing slope down to the WSW-ENE Nanny River which is c. 85m to the N. The cropmarks of two circular features are visible on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 24/07/2021. This is a small circular area (diam. c. 5m) defined by a single fosse, and the ring-ditch (ME027-060----) is c. 30m to the E. The two features are also faintly visible on OSI images (1995) and on Google Earth (21/07/2021).
