The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W-facing slope of a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by a single fosse is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The fosse appears to be absent E-SW where there is a NE-SW farm track and it has a well-defined entrance at N. It is also partially visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018). The monument was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
