The National Monuments Service's description
Near the bottom of a gentle SE-facing slope. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD 1999). The most westerly of three closely associated monuments; a second (KD023-078----) lies c. 40m to the E and there is a third (KD023-078----) c. 50m to the SE. A very slightly raised circular area (diam. 6.5m; H 0.05m) is girdled by a narrow vegetation band of lusher growth (Wth 1m), suggesting a possible back-filled fosse.
