The National Monuments Service's description

Indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) surrounded by an a large oval enclosure (dims. c. 100m NW-SE; c. 80m NE-SW). A field boundary runs NE-SW along the edge of the outer enclosure. On the 2nd (1945-6) revision the monument is indicated with a field boundary containing it on all S, except to the S where the perimeter of the larger enclosure is depicted running up to the field boundary, suggesting it continues slightly S of it. On an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG031, 16 July 1971) portion of a curvilinear enclosure is visible as a cropmark extending c. 20m N of the N field boundary containing the monument, with a break in the fosse to the N suggesting a possible entrance. This aerial photograph also shows a cropmark of a sub-rectangular enclosure (KK019-047002-) extending c. 20-30m westward from the N portion of the monument, with the N side running E-W c. 30m to the N.
