The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped hachured enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) which is truncated by a N-S road bank at E. Situated on a gentle S-facing slope of a low NW-SE rise. Described as a circular area defined by an earth and stone bank with an outer fosse which was truncated by a road bank at E (Gannon 1972). Archaeological testing (96E0190) in the vicinity failed to produce any related material (Ryan 1997b), and the monument is now a lawn with a bungalow just outside it to the NW.
