The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A large circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) defined by a wide deep fosse, identified as a cropmark on aerial photographs (CUCAP ASW032, 17 July 1967; BDO063, 16 July 1970). Another large enclosure (KK021-016----) also identified as a cropmark, lies c. 70m to the S. A field boundary, visible on the aerial photograph but since levelled, appears to slightly truncate the fosse in the NW sector.
