The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photographs (GB96.GA.15, 20 July 1996; ASIAP (22) 4, 5, August 1996 and (47) 28) show a cropmark of the fosse of a sub-rectangular enclosure (diam. c. 30-35m), with an E-facing entrance. Faint linear cropmarks extending N and E of the enclosure suggest an associated field system (KK023-136----). Another cropmark enclosure (KK023-133----) and field system (KK023-134----) are located c. 200m to the SE.
