The National Monuments Service's description
On flat top of low ridge, sloping slightly to the NE, in undulating terrain under pasture. There are good views in all directions. Identified on an aerial photograph (GB90.BM.35), which shows the cropmark of a curvilinear enclosure defined by a fosse with an entrance facing E. The enclosure is not visible at ground level. A field system (KK005-095----), possibly associated with this enclosure, is located in close proximity.
