The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a slight hollow in a fairly level landscape. A circular grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 75m N-S; c. 75m E-W) defined by a grass-covered fosse or drain (Wth c. 5-10m) is visible on Google Earth (05/10/2009; 17/01/2020) and OSI Premium images. There is a low mound (diam. c. 20m) inside the perimeter at SW, and a relict field drain enters the fosse at NW. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
