The individual pits are between 1m and 1.5m in diameter and the inner circuit measures c. 8m-10m in diameter. The pits lie amongst other cropmark enclosures of a possible later prehistoric settlement complex, and is cut by one the ditches of this complex which has been mapped as part of the Northampton NMP project. These remains were seen on aerial photographs taken in 2013 by English Heritage as part of the Reconnaissance Recording Programme.
