The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the tip of a low N-S spur. An oval or D-shaped enclosure (ext. dims c. 42m N-S; c. 30m E-W) that is probably a slightly raised platform is visible on Google Earth (16/11/2008). It is slightly truncated by a N-S field bank on the E side, and it is clearly visible on a LiDAR image from the Open Topographical Viewer. It is also faintly visible on an OSI image (2005) and Aerial Premium (2013-18). The monument was first reported by Susan Curran from the LiDAR image, and it was also noted by Jean Charles Caillére.
