The National Monuments Service's description
Aerial photograph (GB89.AN.07) shows a cropmark of a complex monument comprising a curvilinear subrectangular enclosure (dims. c. 80m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by a fosse and with two entrances, one facing west and the other facing south-east. A lunate feature is located within the south-eastern quadrant of the enclosure. Two annexes, each defined by two fosses, are located, one to the north-west, the other to the south-east. Other linear features to the west of the enclosure suggest an associated field-system. Enclosure (WX045-095----) is c. 150m to the ENE. (WX045-086_1A to 7A)
