'This site is located to the north of RMP KE029-110----, a complex of three small enclosures and a series of stone field boundaries associated with the enclosures, on the south side of a small east-west flowing stream in marshy land. The site consists of a horseshoe shaped grass-covered mound, opening to the east and measuring 12.7m N-S and 14.2m E-W to the extent of the arms of the crescent and 0.85m in height. The large east facing rectangular trough area measures 4m N-S and 5.1m E-W. This area is wet a densely covered in a growth of irises, while the well drained stone filled mound is grass covered.'
