The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a S-facing slope. A D-shaped area (int. dims c. 50m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) with straight sides at S and W is defined by what is probably a broad bank (Wth c. 10-15m) and a narrow outer drain (ext. dims c. 70m NNW-SSE; c. 70m ENE-WSW). It is visible as a soil mark on iMaps (2022) and it is also visible on Google Earth (09/08/2022). It is visible as a cropmark on DigitalGlobe (2011-13). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
