The National Monuments Service's description
On a flat low-lying valley floor with good views in all directions across the valley, in tillage. Identified as a circular ring-ditch (diam. c. 10-15m) on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG060, 16 July 1971). There is another ring-ditch (KK010-032004-) c. 30m to the NW. The ring-ditch may be related to co-axial field system (KK010-032003-) running roughly NE-SW. It is not visible at ground level.
