The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a broad shelf at the bottom of the S-facing slope of Craan Hill. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 32m WNW-ESE: c. 32m NNE-SSW) defined by narrow fosses on every side including the S where the feature is slightest is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is within a large enclosure (dims c. 80m NW-SE; c. 70m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse feature that is only visible SW-N-S, leaving a gap (Wth c. 34m) at SW. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
