The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a fairly steep SE-facing slope but at the base of a steeper slope that rises over it to the NW. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 54m N-S; c. 51m E-W) defined by a slight fosse or drain is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The perimeter can only be traced S-N-E, and it was first reported by Simon Dowling.
