The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), defined by a fosse which is visible as a cropmark on satellite imagery (Apple Maps; also visible on OS ortho imagery, 2004-2006), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. There is a suggestion of an outer fosse in the NE quadrant. There is another enclosure (KK031-110----) c. 65m to the SW and a ringfort (KK031-022----) c. 215m to the SW.
