The National Monuments Service's description
On the SE edge of a terrace above flood plain c. 170m N of the Dinin River, with land rising gently to the N and NW, in pasture. Two parallel ditches (Wth apart c. 20m), extending for c. 50m southwesterly from the SSE edge of a large trivallate ringfort (KK014-010001-), are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (CUCAP BOD023 and BOD024, 10 July 1973). The southernmost ditch appears to extend further for a total length of c. 80m. It is not visible at ground level.
