The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W-facing slope towards the S end of a NNE-SSW ridge. The cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a single fosse is visible only on iMAPs (2022). The perimeter is incorporated into a field bank SE-S, and what might be a single pit is visible in the SW quadrant of the interior. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
