What is recorded here
'Located at the base of the gently sloping limestone reef, 125m east of KE038-117----, this site again affords good views to the west and south. The site is very difficult to see at ground level, though the approximate line of the enclosing element appears to be indicated by a very low undulation in the ground surface, visible on the eastern side. Aerial photography clearly indicates the presence of a circular enclosure approximately 55m in diameter. The presence of a darker line inside the undulation in the ground surface on the eastern side of the site may suggest that the enclosure is internally ditched.'
