The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NE-facing slope. A faint cropmark of circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (13) 12–14), but it is rather uncertain. However, the faint cropmark of an oval enclosure (dims c. 39m E-W; 35m N-S) is more is more clearly visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018) as was first reported by Simon Dowling. It is divined by a NNW-SSE fence, and the defining feature can barely be seen E of this.
