The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB89.Q.39, July 1989) shows cropmark of an oblong, rectilinear enclosure (KK010-164----) defined by a fosse with an entrance facing S. An inner fosse delimits an inner conjoined curvilinear enclosure with an aligned entrance also facing S; a dark 'sausage-shaped' cropmark within this inner enclosure suggests a souterrain (KK010-164001-).
