The National Monuments Service's description
A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m N-S; c. 33m E-W) visible on Google Earth (imagery date 14 July 2018), identified and reported by Simon Dowling. Another enclosure (KK020-117---) conjoins to the E, and this latter enclosure is itself conjoined with a ringfort (KK020-023----) to the SE. Though the enclosure is indicated on the 1st ed. OS map, a field boundary, running roughly E-W, kinks to respect the N quadrant of the enclosure.
