Identified during an aerial photographic survey by Dr. Gillian Barrett on 13 July 1990 and 15 July 1991. Aerial photographs (GB90.BU.03) and (GB91.DW.26) show the cropmark of a large curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse. The cropmark of a second, smaller enclosure (KD039-013---- ) is also visible, in the SE quadrant of the large enclosure.
