The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 41m N-S along the straight E side; c. 23m E-W) but drawn as a circular area (diam. c. 36m) on the 1900 revision, with a stream flowing N-S along the E edge. The monument has been levelled and on satellite imagery appears as a circular waterlogged area in the field. There is an enclosure (KK018-060----) c. 135m to the E and another (KK018-061----) c. 300m to the NE.
