The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-S ridge in undulating terrain. A large curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 100m) visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Within this enclosure there is a smaller circular enclosure (TS068-030001-), possibly a graveyard, which incorporates a medieval church (TS068-030----) in its SW quadrant. The association of this larger enclosure with a church and possible graveyard suggests that this may be an ecclesiastical enclosure.
