The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle S-facing slope. There are local reports that a number of distinctive rings become visible when this field is growing cereals. These were about twelve feet (diam. c. 4m) across. Bricks had been made in the locality and they may be related to this as they could represent firing-pits. The rings do not appear on any aerial photographs. The precise locations are not known.
