The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low hillock in a loop of the River Cor with the stream running W-E c. 160-180m to the S and turning N c. 125m from the monument at the closest point. A slightly raised and probably domed grass-covered area (diam. c. 75m E-W; c. c. 65m N-S), perhaps with a fosse at the perimeter especially E-S-W is visible on Google Earth (07/02/2019). It is traversed by an E-W field bank with trees at the points where it crosses the perimeter. It may have been a tree-ring. It was first reported in 2018 by Susan Curran from a LiDAR image, and was also noted by Jean Charles Caillère.
