The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the outer edge of a shelf on a SE-facing slope, at a break in the slope down to a SW-NE section of the Delvin River. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (int. diam. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) defined by a fosse SE-W-NW is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey undertaken by Bluesky International during June 2018. An outer fosse can also be seen E-S-NW, but the defining features are obscured elsewhere by the tracks of vehicles. It was first reported by Ian Lennon.
