The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on what might be a slight rise on a gently undulating low-lying landscape. In July 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) recorded an image of the cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) with an entrance gap (Wth c. 5m) at NE.
