The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 65m). On the 1900 revision of this map only the SW-W-NE portion is indicated suggesting that the NE-E-S portion had been levelled by this date. On Digitalglobe satellite imagery (viewed 9 November 2020) the SW-W-NE perimeter is evident. A field boundary runs immediately outside, and concentric with, the S sector. There is another similar enclosure (KK020-006----) c. 190m to the SE.
