The National Monuments Service's description
Identified during an aerial photographic survey by Dr. Gillian Barrett in 1991. Aerial photograph (GB91.DX.38) shows the cropmark of an irregular and incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. Located immediately south of another curvilinear enclosure (KD038-067----) and a ring-ditch (KD038-068----). All the monuments were plough-levelled when photographed, but have been destroyed by quarrying sometime between 2000 and 2005.
