The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight E-facing slope in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular feature (int. diam. c. 5m) defined by a fosse E-S-NW is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The ring-ditch (ME028-093001-) is c. 4m to the NW, and both features were reported separately by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds and Anthony Murphy at about the same time.
