The National Monuments Service's description
Located to the tip of a low W-E spur and on land that was once part of the demesne of Cornacassa House. A small circular, grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 30m N-S) that is probably a slightly raised platform is visible on Google Earth (16/11/2008; 07/02/2019). It is cut by a N-S field bank towards the edge at W, and it is clearly visible on LiDAR imagery from the Open Topographical viewer. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
