The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a steep N-facing slope. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by a fosse is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The enclosure is truncated by a N-S field bank at W and there is evidence of an outer fosse c. 5-8m distant NE-SE. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
