The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on an aerial photo (GSI N 389-8) as the cropmark of an arc of fosse, possibly the W limits (SW-W-NNW) of a circular enclosure. On level pasture. No visible surface trace of the feature survives. The same photo shows the cropmarks of some seven, very small rectilinear enclosures immediately to the N (KD018-032002-).
