The National Monuments Service's description
On the edge of a large quarry which extends from N-E, with a field boundary running E-W along the N side and another running N-S through the monument. Identified as the cropmark of a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on an aerial photograph (CUCAP AYK065, 9 July 1969). Another enclosure (KK024-009001-) is visible on the same aerial photograph immediately to the N. A quarry access road, visible on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 21 September 2021), appears to be running over the enclosure.
