The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope. Archaeological monitoring (02E0160) of a windfarm project identified an arc (int. diam. 10m) of a ditch or trench (Wth 0.4m) which lay partly outside the development area. It remains unexcavated under a hard-core surface in a yard, but its precise location is not known. (Purcell 2002; 2004)
