The National Monuments Service's description
An aerial photograph (GB89.T.28) shows a cropmark of two parallel linear fosses, running NE-SW, which appear to define a co-axial field system. An incomplete curvilinear enclosure (KK009-113----) is located in close proximity and may be integrated within the field system, though it could also be associated with another cropmark field boundary running E-W immediately S of the enclosure, which is not related to the co-axial field system.
