The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying fairly wet rough pasture. Indistinct earthen features were visible on a high-altitude Geological Survey aerial photograph and the monument was listed in the RMP (1996) as ‘Earthworks’. It was not visible at ground level on inspection in 1987. Visible on Bing Maps (http://binged.it/13egFCB)(accessed: 4 September 2013) as a ploughed out bivallate ringfort (diam. c. 100m). Another bivallate ringfort (KK008-005----) of similar size lies c. 400 to the NE.
