The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on what might be a slight rise in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 15m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (24/06/2018). The smaller ring-ditch (ME050-033001-) is c. 8m to the W. Both features were first reported by Jean-Charles Caillere.
