The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an enclosure (diam. c. 40-45m), and situated in a slightly undulating landscape. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Archaeological testing (03E1512) immediately to the W on the other side of a NNE-SSW road failed to produce any related archaeological material (O'Hara 2006).
