The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of a NW-facing slope. The cropmark of a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 100m NE-SW; c. 95m NW-SE) defined by a slight fosse is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The perimeter is absent WNW-NNE and the interior is crossed by a N-S and a NW-SE relict field drains. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillère.
