The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on what is probably a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45-50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2019). There is evidence of an internal rectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by slighter fosses or ditches that has an entrance gap (Wth c.4m) at NE. The S quadrant of the rectangular enclosure is occupied by a large pit. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
