The National Monuments Service's description

In tillage. A large curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 96m N-S; c. 88m E-W) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth satellite imagery (imagery date 10 August 2022) identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The enclosure is defined by a fosse which appears to be relatively straight in the NE and SW sectors, but is otherwise curving. A smaller enclosure (KK022-056----), also visible as a cropmark, is located c. 15m to the SW.
