The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a fairly level low-lying landscape c. 100m NW of Newfort House. This is a raised circular area with trees (diam. 10.4m E-W; H 1.4m) defined by a wet fosse (Wth of top 5m; D 0.8m). There is no visible entrance. This is probably a landscape feature as another similar feature is c. 150m to the SE and c. 60m E of Newfort House.
