The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly level low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a large subcircular area (dims c. 100m N-S; c. 85m E-W) defined by a single ditch or drain (Wth c. 2-5m) is visible only on Google Earth (18/07/2021). The cropmark of a rectangular quarry (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 20m N-S) is in the NE part of the interior, and the enclosing element might just be drainage around a slightly raised area. It was first reported by Jean Charles Cailére.
