The National Monuments Service's description

A large enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a fosse, visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (27) 2 and 4, August 1996). A smaller enclosure (KK043-096001-) is conjoined to the NW, though the cropmark suggests that the larger enclosure may overlie smaller.
