The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère and Simon Dowling. The enclosure is truncated along the edge of the NE quadrant by a field boundary running NNW-SSE. Another field boundary running NNE-SSW before turning up towards the NW in the W quadrant, crosses the S portion of the enclosure. A medieval church (KK020-025001-) and graveyard (KK020-025002-) are located c. 200m to the SE.
