The National Monuments Service's description
Located due south of two other enclosures (KD038-067---- and KD038-069----) and a ring-ditch (KD038-068----), all destroyed by quarrying between 2000 and 2005. All identified during an aerial photographic survey by Dr. Gillian Barrett in 1991. Aerial photograph (GB91.DX.38) shows the cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure defined by three fosses. Cut E-W by a modern field boundary, the inner ditch continues as a cropmark into the adjacent arable field to the N on the aerial photograph, which now falls within the apparent limits of the quarry.
