The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular area (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 37m E-W) defined by a slight fosse (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on Apple Maps (2018). The perimeter might have been quarried (Wth c. 6m) at NW and in addition there is an external protuberance in the line of the ditch at SW. The enclosure is also visible on Google Images (24/03/2017, 18/06/2017) and OSI images (c. 2018), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
