The National Monuments Service's description
In a tillage field. Monument identified by Brian Dwyer and James Burke as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken by a drone (21 July 2018). A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by a fosse with a break in the fosse in the NE quadrant probably indicating the entrance. There may be a small internal ring-ditch (diam. c. 5m) in the N sector. An upstanding field boundary runs roughly E-W immediately S of the enclosure. Another enclosure (KK021-048----) is located c. 220m to the NNE.
