The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a SE-facing slope with a col c. 20m to the NE and a hill c. 500m to the ENE. The cropmark of a perfectly circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a continuous fosse is only visible as on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The cropmark of a N-S field drain is immediately to the W. The enclosure is also faintly visible on OSI Images (c. 2017), and it was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
