The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A curving trackway (L c. 70m) was identified as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BDI005 and BDI006, 14 July 1970), showing two parallel lines, running roughly NE-SW, c. 40m NW of a ringfort (KK020-031----). Two rectilinear enclosures (KK020-030001-; KK020-030002-) were also identified as cropmarks c. 80m and 40m to the NW respectively.
