The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a fairly level landscape with the SW-NE Hurley stream c. 160m to the SE. The faint cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 10m) defined by three fosses (int. diam. c. 10m; ext. diam. c. 35m) is partly visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. The defining features are clearly visible SE-SW, but can also be traced NE-SE. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
