The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a steep SE-facing slope. The cropmark of a subcircular or D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 33m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) is visible on images recorded from a drone-mounted camera by Ian Lennon on 24/07/2021. It is defined by a fosse with the straight side that has a possible entrance gap at SE. The enclosure is at the W side of a large triangular field of field system (ME033-071001-), and is also faintly visible on Bluesky images (2018) and Google Earth (24/06/2018).
