The National Monuments Service's description
A sub-square enclosure (diam. c. 40-50m) which widens towards the W, identified as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AJQ027, 9 July 1964). It is straight sided, though the W side is slightly curved, and the NW and SW corners appear to be rounded. A neighbouring and very similar enclosure (KK023-019001-), though slightly larger, is also visible as a cropmark c. 10m to the S.
