The National Monuments Service's description
In the Nore river valley, in tillage. There are a number of ring-ditches in the vicinity (KK010-053001- to KK010-053003-; KK010-054----; KK010-055001- to KK010-055009-; KK010-142----; KK010-152----; KK010-162---- and KK010-187----). Identified as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 15m) on an aerial photographs (CUCAP BGG048 and BGG049, 16 July 1971; BOD006 and BOD007, 10 July 1973). Only the N portion of the cropmark is visible as the ring-ditch has been truncated by a field boundary running roughly NE-SW through the S portion.
