The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on a 1970 aerial photograph (CUCAP BDR 131) as the cropmark of fosses enclosing a small rectilinear field system comprising 3/4 small fields, possibly associated with an enclosure (KD005-011001-) and trackway (KD005-011002-) immediately to the N and a second, smaller enclosure (KD005-010----) to the N again. By 1985 the site had been overlain by earthen landscaping mounds (SMR file). Area is visible on a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005) and is built upon with modern housing.
