The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight NW-facing slope. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single fosse is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018; 14/07/2018). There is an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at ENE and the ring-ditch (WX012-039002-) is c. 3m outside the perimeter at E. The enclosure is cut by the cropmark of two parallel NNW-SSE field drains associated with an unmapped field bank E of the centre and the cropmark of a field drain runs ENE from these at the S edge of the enclosure. It was first reported by Catherine McLoughlinn.
