The National Monuments Service's description
A rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 57m E-W), defined by a fosse which is visible as a faint cropmark on satellite imagery (Google Earth, imagery date 10 August 2022), identified and reported by Anne-Karoline Distel. A small square sand pit or pond (dims. c. 20m x c. 20m) occupying the SE sector of the enclosure is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and subsequent revisions. A moated site (KK023-007----) lies c. 115m to the SSW.
