The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a S-facing slope and backing onto a NE-SW stream. This is a large D-shaped area (dims c. 80m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) defined by a single fosse feature, which is backing onto a NE-SW road with a NE-SW stream on the other side. It is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018), and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
