The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on an aerial photograph (GB89.AG.20) as a cropmark of a complex curvilinear enclosure with an associated rectilinear field system to the NW (KD037-038002). The enclosure is defined by two widely spaced fosses, with an entrance facing W. A further trapezoidal enclosure (KD037-038003-) defined by a broad fosse appears superimposed on the original enclosure at the S.
