The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a fairly steep W-facing slope, with a N-S stream c. 60m to the W. The faint cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse feature but truncated by a NW-SE section of road at NE is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (9) 20-22). A house had been built just outside it at SW by c. 2013 (digitalglobe).
