The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape that might once have been part of the demesne of Corballis House. The cropmark of a small circular feature (diam. c. 2m) defined by a single slight but continuous fosse or trench is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It is c. 35m NW of the rectangular enclosure (ME028-087001-), and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
