The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in undulating grassland within a broad river valley. A rectangular enclosure (dims. 18m N-S; c. 35m E-W along N side; c. 30m E-W along S side) defined by a bank to N and S; by a steep slope to the E and to the W it runs up to an adjacent circular enclosure (KK003-018001-), the N bank running into the fosse in the N quadrant of the latter. The S bank is conjoined with another rectangular enclosure (KK003-018004-) immediately to the S. Below the latter enclosure are two other rectangular enclosures (KK003-018005-; KK003-018006-), also aligned E-W.
