The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight rise on a S-facing slope. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 25m NNW-SSE; c. 23m ENE-WSW) defined by a single fosse is visible only on Apple Maps (2018). The fosse is barely visible NNE-SE and SW-NW, and the enclosure was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
