The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, just below the crest of a hill, under tillage. A large, roughly circular enclosure (TS077-117001-) was identified as a cropmark, with a smaller circular enclosure (TS077-117002-), partially encroaching on the W side of the larger enclosure. There is a small roughly circular possible cropmark adjoining the NE quadrant. of the large enclosure which may be an annexe or an earlier monument. All three cropmarks were identified from aerial photographs (ASIAP (28) 3-5,7,9, 3-8-96; (40) 23-25, 3-8-96). There is no visible trace of these monuments at ground level.
