The National Monuments Service's description
On fairly flat valley floor, in grassland which has been ploughed and reclaimed. Identified as a three separate linear cropmarks on an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AJQ 46) forming a co-axial field system. The linear cropmarks (L c. 160m) are running roughy E-W and are c. 100m and c. 60m apart from N to S. Three ring-ditches (KK004-013001-; KK004-013002-; KK004-013004-) are associated with this field system. Another circular enclosure (KK004-012----), identified as a cropmark, lies c. 200m SW of the field system and is probably also associated with it. Not visible at ground level.
