The National Monuments Service's description
On fairly flat valley floor, in grassland which has been ploughed and reclaimed. Identified as a cropmark on aerial photographs (CUCAP, AJQ 46, BDI 26, 28), this is one of three circular ring-ditches, possibly associated with a co-axial field system (KK004-013003-). The other ring-ditches are c. 30m to the NNW (KK004-013001-) and c. 80m to the WSW (KK004-013004-). There is another circular enclosure (KK004-012----) identified as a cropmark c. 320m to the SW. Not visible at ground level.
