The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photographs (GB96.FW.27, 20 July 1996; ASIAP (113) 31-32, 22 July 2000) shows a cropmark of a curving fosse delineating an incomplete enclosure, with an entrance facing NW, extending to the NE of a circular enclosure (KK020-040001-) and probably representing an associated field system. There is another field system (KK020-040002-) adjoining the circular enclosure to the SW.
