The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a gentle NW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a slight but continuous fosse or drain is visible only on Apple Maps which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It is within a grid of cropmark field drains from a rectangular field system that is partly represented on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it may be a tree-ring. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
