The National Monuments Service's description
One of five, possible small enclosures visible as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI N 413-4) - see also KD021-008001- to KD021-008005-. The closely associated features ocupy a roughly rectangular area (dims. L c. 270m E-W; Wth c. 150m N-S), of improved pastureland formerly liable to flooding, near the confluence of the S-flowing Black River (to their E) with a small, E-flowing tributary (to their S) which follows the old course of the River Barrow. Field boundaries immediatly to the S, indicated on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, have been removed. There is no visible surface trace of the features.
