The National Monuments Service's description
A circular ring-ditch (diam. c. 10m), the fosse is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple maps satellite imagery), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. It is one of a number of ring-ditches in the area, including KK023-165----; KK023-166----; KK023-175---- and KK023-167---, which suggests that this was a barrow cemetery.
