The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating terrain, c. 150m N of a stream which flows roughly E-W into the River Nore c. 550m to the SE, in pasture. Identified on aerial photographs (ASIAP (111) 3-6, 22 July 2000). A circular enclosure (diam. 52m) defined by slight bank (Wth at crest 2.1m; overall Wth 7.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.75m) which largely survives as broad scarp which is more pronounced in the N quadrant. A concentric enclosure (KK009-025----) lies 120m to the E.
