The National Monuments Service's description

On a gentle, SW-facing pasture slope. Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere. Visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (March 2020) as a circular enclosure (est. int. diam. c. 35m) defined by a low inner scarp with the cropmark of a possible fosse outside (est. ext. diam. 50m). A later field boundary runs NW-SE, to SW of centre, across the monument.
