The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. A gradiometry survey conducted within and around the portion of embanked enclosure (ME027-078----) in Caulstown identified a small D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 27m N-S; c. 23m E-W) defined by what are probably ditches with the straight edge at W (Leigh 2018, 3).
