The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A field system (L c. 50m NE-SW), defined by parallel linear cropmarks visible on satellite imagery (Apple Maps), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. These cropmarks run NE, E and SE of a curvilinear enclosure (KK031-108---) with which they appear to be an associated. There is also another possible curvilinear enclosure conjoined to the S of the enclosure which may be part of the field system.
