The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of a S-facing slope. Described as an oval area defined by an earthen bank and fosse (Gannon 1972). An arc of a bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) survived NE-SE (C c. 30m) in 1996 but had been removed by 2006. Archaeological testing (06E1043) c. 30m to the W during 2006 failed to produce any related material (Guinan 2009a).
