The National Monuments Service's description
A bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m; overall diam. c. 50m) defined by two concentric fosses, visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (2021 Maxar Technologies, viewed May 2021), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The W side of the inner enclosure is preserved in the N-S field boundary which deliberately curves to respect the monument. Another enclosure (TS088-017----) is located c. 100m to the S.
