The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture. Identified on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ATS012, 19 July 1967), the cropmark of two parallel ditches forming a narrow roadway (L c. 160m; Wth c. 5m) running NE-SW up to the SW perimeter of a circular enclosure (KK024-021001-). Within the enclosure there is a cairn (KK024-021004-) and the aerial photograph also showed curvilinear cropmarks immediately NW of the enclosure which may be part of another enclosure (KK024-021002-) or an associated field system.
