The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 46-50m) defined by a fosse. There is a slightly smaller circular enclosure (KK020-117----) adjoining to the NW and another (KK020-116----) immediately W of and adjoin the latter. All three are located immediately SE of a castle (KK020-022001-) and associated deserted settlement (KK020-022004-). On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map a field boundary is indicated running roughly ESE-WNW through the N perimeter of the monument, this field boundary had been removed by the 1900 revision.
