The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise on an undulating W-facing slope, on a broad plateau at the base of a hill range. Land rises gently immediately NE of the enclosure. In tillage. Views are limited to the N by a low hill and from NE-E-ESE are dominated by a hill range, with good views to the S and W. Identified as a circular cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BOD 12). The enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m) is defined by two fosses, the inner being wider and deeper. The N half of the enclosure is also visible on an aerial photograph taken in 1990 (GB90.BM.26). A larger circular enclosure (KK005-025002-) is also visible as a cropmark c. 120m to the SSW. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
