The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight N-S spur. The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 80m NE-SW; c. 70m NW-SE) is defined by a distinct fosse feature with a lighter outer feature c. 10-15m outside it. It is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and only the NE part is visible in a cereal crop on aerial photographs (ASIAP (10) 6-8).
