The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on a 1970 aerial photograph (CUCAP BDR 31) as the well-defined cropmark of a fosse enclosing a small circular area (est. max. diam. c. 10m) and possibly associated with an enclosure (KD005-011001-), a trackway (KD005-011002-) and a field-system (KD005-012----) immediately to the S. By 1985 the site was not visible at ground level (SMR file). Area is visible on a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005) and is built on with modern housing.
