The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope with a small WSW-ENE stream c. 40m to the S. The faint cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 25m) defined by a fosse was recorded by a drone-mounted camera operated by Ian Lennon on 30/05/2020. A very slight outer fosse is c. 2m distant at S and c. 8m distant at NE. No entrances are visible.
