The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S-facing slope of a slight W-E spur. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (int. dims c. 37m WNW-ESE; c. 26m NNE-SSW) defined by the lighter band (Wth c. 4m) of a bank NW-E is visible on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. There are traces of what might be a nearly complete inner fosse or drain. It is also faintly visible on Google Maps (06/06/2018), and was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
