'Located in level, cleared land between two limestone reefs, 90m north of the recorded monument KE028-090---- there is a sub-circular crop mark enclosure with central circular hut feature. No trace of this site can be seen at ground level though there are some low undulations in the ground surface in this area. The enclosure measures approximately 38m N-S and 40m E-W, while the central circular feature is approximately 10m in diameter. An opening to a souterrain occurs approximately 10-15m to the north-west of this crop mark site. It was suggested that a souterrain was associated with KE028-090---- built on the nearby rock outcrop but this opening is 122m from that site and is more likely to be associated with the destroyed crop mark enclosure. The opening measures 1.3m by 0.75m and leads into a passage. The opening has been sealed by the landowner. The crop mark evidence and associated souterrain opening suggest that this site was a univallate ringfort with central house.'
