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 cropmarks of a sequence of fosses indicative of a field system. These are not visible at ground level. An enclosure (KK005-094----), possibly associated with this field system, is located in close proximity.
