The National Monuments Service's description
Identified as the cropmark of three conjoined roughly square enclosures on aerial photographs (CUCAP AJQ026, 9 July 1964 and AYK059, 9 July 1969). The enclosures are orientated E-W c. 40m E of an enclosure (KK023-046001-). They range in size, the smallest to the E (dims. c. 25m, 40m and 50m respectively) and there is a cropmark of a field boundary running from the SE edge of the enclosure through the centre of the two easternmost enclosures and through the S portion of the W enclosure. The aerial photographs show a number of other cropmark enclosures in the vicinity, KK023-046002- c. 130m to the NW; KK023-046006- c. 190m to the NNW; KK023-046003- c. 60m to the N and KK023-046005- c. 85m to the NE.
