The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on what might be a slight rise on a gentle N-facing slope. The cropmark of a small circular feature (diam. c. 6m) defined by a continuous fosse is visible on Apple Maps (2018). It is also faintly visible on Digital Globe (c. 2013), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
