The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (GB89.AG.20) shows cropmarks of a complex curvilinear enclosure (KD037-038001-) with an associated rectilinear field system to the NW. The curvilinear 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.
