The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photographs (CUCAP ASU 59-61) show a cropmark of a fosse enclosing a sub-rectangular area (KD038-024001-) (dims. c. 80m SW-NE x c. 50m NW-SE), with traces of a possible field (KD038-024002-) attached at the NE. May be associated with the cropmarks of the ring-ditch complex which it appears to overlie (KD038-027----). No visible surface trace.
