The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. Identified as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro, imagery date 13 August 2015). The cropmark highlights the fosse of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) which appears to have a wide entrance (Wth c. 7m) in the SSW sector. A modern field boundary runs E-W across the northern portion of the enclosure. Another enclosure (KK019-118-----) lies c. 300m to the WSW.
