The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight NE-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 36m NW-SE: 32m NE-SW) defined by a single slight continuous fosse or drain is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The cropmark of a leat or drain extends from the perimeter at SE southwards to a small SW-NE stream c. 70m distant. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
