The National Monuments Service's description

A large roughly square enclosure (diam. 130m NE-SW and NW-SE) with rounded corners, though the on S side the perimeter forms a short straight side, in grassland. It is visible on Google Earth (imagery date: 18 January 2018) (https://earth.google.com/web/@52.88108984,-7.81071924,123.48192002a,696.79020918d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=ChYaFAoML2cvMTE5dzZ0NTN5GAEgASgC), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. It is defined by a slight earthen bank, most pronounced from N-E-S. The SE side appears to have been incorporated in a trackway or field boundary which is depicted on the 2nd ed OS 6-inch map, and continues to run SW of the enclosure.
