The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise on a gentle N-facing slope. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 45m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 1-2m) is visible only on Apple Maps (2018). There is an inner enclosure (dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 28m NE-SW) defined by a slighter fosse, and there is a large gap (Wth c. 23m) in the outer fosse at S. Enclosure (ME032-100----) is c. 80m to the W, and the features were first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
