The National Monuments Service's description
On a very slight S-facing slope in poor, wet, rushy, rough grazing, c. 30m SSW of a larger enclosure (KD008-016----). A very poorly preserved circular area (diam. 23m) is defined by a low scarp (H 0.6m) with traces of a very low, earthen bank along the E (Wth 1-1.3m; H 0.1-0.2m), and by a narrow, shallow, outer fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.2m), which is crossed by a causeway (Wth 2m) at N.
