The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 34m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 1-2m) W-N-SE with an entrance gap (Wth 5m) at E is visible on Apple Maps (2018). The perimeter is not visible SE-W, but the fosse is also faintly traceable on Digital Globe (c. 2013) and Google Earth (12/07/2013). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
