The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-S terrace along the E side of the Nore and Dinin river valleys, with land dropping to the W down to the flood plain, in flat terrain under grass and tillage. There are good views in all directions, though they are very good to the W. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) defined by wind-flashing of crop showing on aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG040, 16 July 1971). It is not visible at ground level. There is a ring-ditch (KK014-143----) c. 20m to the SW.
