The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB89.T.28) shows a cropmark of an incomplete curvilinear enclosure. It is between the cropmarks of a co-axial field system (KK009-114----) which runs NE-SW. A U-shaped enclosure, curving at the N, with E and W straight sides which run southward and appear to be join an E-W running field boundary, though this field boundary either pre or post-dates the co-axial field system.
