The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on what might be a slight rise in a fairly level landscape. The parch-mark in grass of a small circular enclosure (diam. < 5m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (24/06/2018). The larger ring-ditch (ME-033002-) is c. 8m to the E. Both features were first reported by Jean-Charles Caillere.
