The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight SW-facing slope. A grass-covered subcircular area (dims c. 90m NW-SE; c. 75m NE-SW) defined by what is probably a low bank and outer fosse is visible in low winter sunlight on Google Earth (Jan. 2020). The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at NE. It is also traceable on other Google images and faintly on OSI images (1995). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
