The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. The parchmark of a subcircular area (dims c. 47m E-W; c. 42m N-S) defined by a slight but continuous feature with straight sections at N and E is visible only on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There is a subrectangular feature (dims c. 24m x c. 20m) in the interior, which may be a quarry. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
