The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A ring-ditch (diam. c. 20m) identified as a cropmark on aerial photograph (GB91.EQ.07, 20 August 1991). Also visible on this aerial photograph are three other ring-ditches, (KK014-140----; KK014-142----; KK014-141----) which lie c. 50m to the NW, c. 110m to the WNW and c. 240m to the NW respectively. Since the aerial photograph was taken a road (R693) has been built running NW-SE between KK014-139---- and KK14-140----, which are E of the road, and KK014-141---- and KK014-142----, which are W of the road.
