The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a sinuous NNW-SSE esker ridge. A small oval, grass-covered enclosure (dims c. 17m N-S; c. 14m E-W) defined by a small bank and outer fosse is most clearly visible on Google Earth (08/11/2019; 14/11/2019). It is also visible on Aerial Premium (2013-18), and it was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
