The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight flat-topped ridge running N-S, with ground dropping c. 4.5m to the W down to the floor of the Dinin river valley and dropping slightly to the E before rising again, in rolling grassland. The largest (diam. c. 30m) of three monuments, two enclosures (KK014-034001- and KK014-034002-) and a ring-ditch (KK014-034003-), closely associated (c. 20m apart) in a roughly N-S linear alignment. Identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG075, 16 July 1971) with a wide fosse.
