The National Monuments Service's description

Field boundaries running NNW-SSE and ENE-WSW identified as cropmarks of ditches on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG033, 16 July 1971). Two ring-ditches (KK019-022001-; KK019-022002-) and a possible enclosure (KK019-022003-) were also identified as cropmarks on this aerial photograph. A field ditch, running roughly NNW-SSE, runs along the E edge of one ring-ditch (KK019-022002-) while running through the other ring-ditch (KK019-022001-), with the ENE-WSW running across the enclosure, which suggests that the field system post-dates the enclosure and the ring-ditches.
