The National Monuments Service's description
On a very gentle S-facing tillage slope, with two enclosures (KD014-003---- and KD014-004----) immediately to the SE and a third, very large enclosure (KD014-009----) immediately to the N. Described in 1985 as 'a circular platform (diam. 17m; H c. 1m) with traces of a bank at the S and W' (SMR file). The site has subsequently been ploughed out, and while deep potato drills run E-W across the monument, some sub-surface remains may survive intact. (CUCAP AVO 83; AVR 9. 1968).
