The National Monuments Service's description
Two small ring-ditches are located on a broad undulating E-W ridge that might once have been part of the demesne of Corballis House. They are visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. This is a circular area (diam. c. 4m) defined by a continuous fosse, which is bisected by the cropmark of a N-S field drain. Ring-ditch (ME028-096002-) is c. 40m to the E. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
