The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture. A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 14m) identified on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 16 December 2016) by Jean-Charles Caillère. It appears to have an internal fosse and outer bank. The size and morphology of the enclosure suggest it is a ring-barrow. There is another possible ring-barrow c. 50m to the S.
