The National Monuments Service's description
'Located to the north of the field system and enclosures of RMP KE029-110---- and immediately south of a small stream. The site is in the low-lying improved land, off the reef on which the recorded field system is located. This site is very difficult to trace on the ground, although a very low broad bank measuring 3.3m in width and remaining to a height of only 0.20m can be traced to the north. The site is clearly visible as a large circular enclosure on aerial photography, though much of the enclosing element is only visible as a crop mark. The dimensions of the enclosed area are 68m N-S and 60m E-W.'
