A field boundary runs NE-SW along the edge of the outer enclosure. On the 2nd (1945-6) revision the monument is indicated with a field boundary containing it on all S, except to the S where the perimeter of the larger enclosure is depicted running up to the field boundary, suggesting it continues slightly S of it.

This aerial photograph also shows a cropmark of a sub-rectangular enclosure (KK019-047002-) extending c. 20-30m westward from the N portion of the monument, with the N side running E-W c. 30m to the N.
