The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible in images captured in July 2018 by a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works). It appears to be cut by drains of the field system (WX047-142003-) and it appears to have wide entrance at E.
