The National Monuments Service's description
Slightly S of and below the crest of an E-W ridge of hills running along the N side of the Nuenna river valley, in rough pasture and bracken. There are good views in all directions, except to N. Identified as a field system on an aerial photograph (GSI S421, 1:30,000). This consists of a number of field boundaries which radiate out from an enclosure (KK013-101001-), some of which may be contemporary with the enclosure. It is likely that other field boundaries and trackways are later, the latter possibly relating to quarrying which took place within the enclosure.
