The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the tip of a low W-E spur. This is a circular, slightly raised and grass-covered area (diam. 39m N-S; 35.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth c. 3m; H 0.3m W-N to 0.7-0.9m E-S). The entrance is a dip (Wth of base 1.7m) at SSW. It is not depicted on any map but is visible on Google Earth (01/03/2010; 24/03/2017) and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere. It is also faintly visible on OSI images (2005, 2012).
