The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying marshy grassland. Marked on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) as a subcircular enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 33m E-W) defined by a bank and fosse. Apart from a slight scarp curving from NE to E, no visible surface trace survives. A NW-SE running road cuts across it from NNW to E and a trackway, parallel to the road, cuts it from W to SE. Possibly a rath.
