The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. Cropmarks of a field system identified on an aerial photograph (GB89.Q.29, 13 July 1989). It consists of two parallel field boundaries c. 35m apart, running E-W and another boundary running N-S, possibly from the northernmost E-W boundary. This boundary, as it runs northward appears to start to curve gently westward. Two enclosures (KK019-118---- and KK019-141----), also identified as cropmarks, lie immediately N and NE respectively of the visible field system cropmarks, though this is not necessarily an indication of contemporaneity.
