The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the E bank of the Flesk River. The N arc (C c. 10m) of a possible circular enclosure is clearly visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 245/143-144) taken in 1956, with the faint trace of a possible circular feature at its centre. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. A smaller enclosure (KE066-073001-) is immediately to the SW.
