The National Monuments Service's description
On the S bank of the E-flowing Rye Water river in gently undulating pasture. A sub-rectangular area (int. dims. L 32.2m E-W; Wth 22m) is defined by a broad shallow fosse (Wth. 3.2- 6m; D. 0.2-0.4m) along E, S and W, and by the river along the N. A modern drain crosses the S limits NE-SW.
