The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. Rectangular grass and rush-covered area (dims. 24.5m NE-SW; 20.5-23.5m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank at NE (Wth 5.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.45m) and SE (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m), and the base of a bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.05m; ext. H 1m) at NW. There are fosses (Wth of top 3.7-5m; D 0.4m) on each side, but those at NE and SE have been re-cut as drains (D 1.25-1.4m). There is an outer bank (Wth 3.4m; ext. H 1.4m) at SW. Earthwork (RO001-001-) is c. 180m to the SW.
