The National Monuments Service's description
Located on fairly level landscape with a slight E-facing slope. In July 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) recorded an image of the cropmark of a subcircular or D-shaped curvilinear enclosure (dims c. 32-35m NE-SW; c. 35m NW-SE) defined by a single narrow fosse feature with the straightest side at SE and two small entrance gaps on the NE side. It is overlain by the cropmarks of single ditches from the mapped field system that is now removed.
