The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SE-facing slcope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single fosse is visible on Apple Maps (2018). It is bisected by the cropmark of an E-W drain, and is within the cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 110m NW-SE; c. 50-70m NE-SW), which is a small unmapped field. It is also visible on OSI Premium (2018), and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
