The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A curvilinear enclosure (diam. c. 50m) identified as the cropmark of a fosse on an aerial photograph (CUCAP BGG006, 16 July 1971). The N portion of the enclosure is more pronounced on the aerial photograph and it is this portion which is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, and the 1948 revision, as a curvilinear field boundary, the former edition showing smaller fields within it. A road runs NE-SW through the interior of the monument. There are three other enclosures, also visible as cropmarks in this aerial photograph, in the immediate vicinity, KK027-007----; KK027-008---- which lie c. 190m and c. 130m to the NW respectively and KK027-087---- which lies c. 130m to the WNW.
