The National Monuments Service's description
A small circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) identified as a cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). Another ring-ditch (KK019-022002-) was identified c. 90m to the NNW, a possible enclosure (KK019-022003-) c. 65m to the NW, as well as a relic field system (KK019-022004-) which appears to post-date the ring-ditches as one of the field boundaries runs roughly NW-SE across KK019-022001-.
