The National Monuments Service's description
In mixed tillage and pasture. Reported by Jean-Charles Caillere. Visible on Google Earth aerial imagery (18-4-2015) as the soilmark of a circular area (est. diam. c. 50m), the possible remains of an earthwork. It appears to lie in the W-half of a large rectangular enclosure (est. max L c. 100m ENE-WSW; est. max Wth c. 70m NNW-SSE) defined by the cropmarks of two parallel fosses. A ringfort (RO047-005----) lies c. 380m to the WSW.
