The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 55m ENE-WSW; c. 40m NNW-SSE) defined by a single wide fosse feature (Wth c. 4-5m) backs on to an ENE-WSW field bank at S but there is no evidence of the feature continuing on the S side. It was recorded by a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) during July 2018.
