The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight W-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (int. dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 34m E-W) defined by two fosses is only visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The inner fosse is visible SSW-W-NE, and the outer fosse is only clearly traceable NW-NE. The perimeter is incorporated in a field bank SE-SW. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
