The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SE-facing slope. The cropmark of an enclosure (int. diam. c. 35m; ext. diam. c. 60m) defined by two fosse features, the inner wider than the outer, is visible on aerial photographs (MM (61) 19-23). There is no entrance gap in either feature.
