The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape on the demesne land of Dangan House, which is c. 550m to the SE. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 45m N-S; c. 38m E-W) defined by a faint fosse feature is only visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is bisected by a NNE-SSW field drain, and it is not represented on any OS 6-inch map. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
