The National Monuments Service's description

Identified as the northernmost of two conjoined enclosures on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG028, 16 July 1971) and also visible on a later aerial photograph (GB89.P.23, 13 July 1989). The S enclosure (KK019-130----) is possibly later as it appears to be encroaching into the S sector of the N enclosure. Since 1989 both monuments have been levelled, as have the field boundaries to the N and E. There is a large enclosure (KK019-043----) c. 300m to the NW and another enclosure (KK019-044----) c. 260m to the W.
