The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is cut towards the edge at S by the cropmark of an E-W drain, which is represented as a field bank only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy and it was also reported by Jean Charles Caillère.
