The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle E-facing slope with a small SW-NE stream c. 80m to the SE. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 36m NE-SW; c. 34m NW-SE) defined by a moat (Wth c. 3-6m) on each side is visible on Google Earth (25/05/2017; 17/06/2018; 09/08/2017). There could be an entrance causeway towards the N end of the NW moat. It is also visible on OSAP (1995, 2000).
