The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope, just below the crest of a hill, in rolling grassland, c. 160m NE of a stream which flows into a river c. 360m to the E. Located c. 100m NNE of a medieval church (KK009-019001-) and graveyard (KK009-019002-) is a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by an earthen bank (H c. 0.5m). The enclosure appears to pre-date the surrounding earthworks of a deserted settlement (KK009-019004-) which seem to be respecting this feature.
