The National Monuments Service's description

Located towards the bottom of the steep S-facing slope in the valley of a SW-NE section of the Devlin River, with the stream c. 40m to the SE. The cropmarks of an enclosure with ring-ditch just outside it to the NE are visible on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 22/07/2021. The enclosure (diam. c. 35m) is defined by a single fosse that is very slight N-E. An internal feature (diam. c. 10m) with a blurred outline like a fosse could be a ring-ditch or a pit. An outer fosse encompasses the enclosure and the external ring-ditch on the SE side, but the N side unclear. It is also visible on Google Earth (2021).
