The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a slight col between slightly higher ground c. 200m to the N and c. 400m to the SW. The faint cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by a narrow ditch feature W-N-E and with some internal pits is visible on aerial photographs (MM (57) 6-8). It may have been a tree-ring. It is also visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018).
