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. A possible hollow-way (Wth 2.5m; D 0.6-1.2m) runs for c. 27m roughly E-W immediately N of a wide earthen bank on the N side of a building (KK013-060006-) within a deserted settlement (KK013-060004-). The hollow-way appears to be running towards the entrance to a ringwork (KK013-059001-) 70m to the ESE, however, this section of the hollow-way is not visible, possibly as it may have been damaged by the construction of a large enclosure which partially overlies and thus post-dates the graveyard (KK013-060002-) of the medieval church (KK013-060001-) to the S.
