The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the crest of a N-facing slope down to the flood plain of the meandering W-E River Nanny, which is c. 100m to the NE at the closest point and c. 900m from where it debouches into the sea. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 18m) defined by a single fosse that is absent NW-NNE was recorded on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 22/07/2021. It is also visible on Google Earth (22/07/2021), and the ring-ditch (ME028-054----) is c. 50m to the W.
