The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 31m NE-SW), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 10 August 2022), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. A smaller circular enclosure (KK019-015----), which had been upstanding until c. 1970 and is now visible as a cropmark, is located immediately to the W. The larger enclosure may be conjoined with the smaller enclosure or could possibly pre-date it.
