The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (GB89.T.09) shows a cropmark of a large curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 65m) defined by a fosse. A cropmark ring-ditch (KK009-111----) is located within the enclosure in the E quadrant, but may not be contemporaneous. The enclosure is transected by a modern field boundary running roughly N-S through the W half. An enclosure (KK009-109----) is located c. 200m to the NE and a ring-ditch (KK009-110----) is located c. 270m to the NNE.
