The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. Identified as a cropmark of the fosse of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 65m) on aerial photographs (CUCAP BDH099, 14 July 1970 and BDR055, 18 July 1970) and visible on ASIAP (16) 31, 1995 and (113) 30-32, 22 July 2000. Adjoining the S sector is a rectilinear feature, possibly part of an associated field system (KK020-040002-). On the aerial photograph a field boundary is visible running roughly E-W across the S portion of the monument, it has since been removed.
