The National Monuments Service's description
On a low short NNW-SSE pasture ridge with a gentle slope to SW and a moderately steep slope to NE, overlooking an enclosure site (KD031-025----) c. 50m to NE. A low heavily overgrown circular earthen mound (diam. 15m; H c. 1.5m) with a domed profile is skirted by a later field boundary bank NW-N-ENE. A shallow enclosing fosse (W c. 2m) noted in 1989 (SMR file) is obscured by cleared field material dumped around the perimeter.
