The National Monuments Service's description
Located on what might be a slight NE-SW ridge in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular area (int. diam. c. 23m) defined by two fosses (ext. diam. c. 35m) is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018, but the outer fosse can only be seen clearly NE-S. Much of the interior appears to have been quarried. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
