The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A roughly oval or sub-rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 33m N-S; c. 25m E-W), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. Also visible as cropmarks are two conjoined enclosures, one (KK020-125----) is conjoined to the NW and the other enclosure (KK020-126----) is conjoined to the N of the latter. A ring-ditch is located c. 100m to the NW and an enclosure (KK020-011----) lies c. 100m to the ENE.
