The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2017). The ring-ditch (ME031-081001-), a small circular feature (diam. c. 10m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature, is just inside the perimeter at NE. It was first reported by Ciaran McDonnell.
