The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. The cropmark of a subcircular area (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 28m NE-SW) is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and is barely visible SW of this feature in what is probably a root crop. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
