Small circular-shaped earthwork located in field 130m W of Ardkill Church (KD008-009001-) and graveyard (KD008-009002-). Cropmark of small circular area (approx. diam. 10) defined by a fosse the outline of which is visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph. The small size and form of the monument may suggest that this is the site of a small ditch barrow.
