The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a steep W-facing slope. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 45m NE-SW; 35m NW-SE) defined by a fosse is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The fosse can only be seen clearly WSW-N-SE and may have been quarried out elsewhere. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
