The National Monuments Service's description
The N end of a possible enclosure (ringfort?) enters the site. The converging ditches do not join but form a type of staggered entrance along a flattish N side. The ditches
are around 1.5m wide max. and would form an enclosure of perhaps 20m wide that
enters the site by around 10m.
