The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A rectangular enclosure (dims. c. 35m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère and Simon Dowling. There is a possible entrance midway along the SE side, though there also appears to be an outer fosse at a distance of c. 4m parallel to the inner fosse on this side. Another rectangular enclosure (KK024-146----), also identified as a cropmark but not as clearly defined, is located immediately to the NW, separated by c. 3.5m.
