The National Monuments Service's description

A circular enclosure (KK023-012001-) identified as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG025, 16 July 1971). Some linear ditches, possibly a related field system, were also identified as cropmarks on the aerial photograph. One appears to run to the SW from the S fosse of the enclosure, with other linear cropmarks running E and N from this. There is a curvilinear cropmark W of the enclosure and another NW of the enclosure. These appear to be interconnected.
