The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling grassland at transition from slope of valley side to fairly flat valley floor. Moderate views along and across valley. On an aerial survey by Simon Dowling (30 December 2014) a rectangular structure defined by fosse is visible 10m NNE of the NE angle of a graveyard (KK013-060002-). This structure (dims. 12m x 6m), aligned NE-SW, appears to be the same as that identified during a field inspection in 1987. (National Monument files). This platform structure (H 0.2m) is surrounded by a fosse (Wth 1.3m) and low outer bank (int. H 0.43m; ext. H 0.22m; Wth at top 0.7m; overall Wth 2m). There is a large wide bank immediately N of this structure which may form the S bank of a possible hollow-way (KK013-060007-).
