The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on what might be a rise in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 43m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 3m) is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. There is an entrance gap (Wth c. 6m) at SE, and much of the interior has been quarried. It is also faintly visible on OSI images (1995) and Google Earth (14/07/2018), and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
