The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle NE-facing slope. The cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 50m NE-SW; c. 38m NW-SE) defined by a single fosse (Wth c. 2-4m) is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NE-SW field bank, and a short WNW-ESE line of bushes is inside the perimeter at SW. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
