The National Monuments Service's description
In the Nore river valley. Identified as a curving length (c. 20m) of a cropmark fosse located c. 15m S of a ring-ditch (KK010-055001-) on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BOD005, 10 July 1973). There are a number of ring-ditches in the vicinity (KK010-053001- to KK010-053003-; KK010-054----; KK010-055002- to KK0010-055009-; KK010-142----; KK010-152----; KK010-162---- and KK010-187----). This fosse may be the remnant of a larger enclosure, perhaps contemporary with and enclosing the ring-ditch.
