The National Monuments Service's description
Shown as an oval enclosure (est. ext. diams. c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1st ed. (1839) of the OS 6-inch map and as a raised oval area on the latest ed. (1909) of the map. In 1972 no visible surface traces survived, apart from a slight rise in the field (SMR file). Visible as a cropmark on Dr. Gillian Barrett's aerial photographs (GB90.BU.03 (1990) and GB91.DW.26 (1991)) which show the monument located in the SE quadrant of a second, much larger enclosure (KD039-013001-). (Barrett 2000, 87-106, Fig.12.; ibid 2002, 1-30, Plate 11; ibid 2006, 69-95, Fig.3.3.)
