The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level landscape. A circular grass-covered enclosure (ext. diam. c. 100m) defined by two closely-spaced bank and fosse features is visible on aerial images (OSAP 1995), and it had been photographed by Leo Swan c. 1970 (pers. comm. Katherine Daly). It had been partly built on by c. 2013 (Bing) and it might be a ceremonial enclosure.
