The National Monuments Service's description
On a gently sloping terrace between the flood plain of the River Nore which flows NW-SE c. 2km to the E and the Dinin River which flows NE-SW c. 2km to the W, both joining c. 2km to the S, in gently rolling pasture. There are fair to good views in all directions. A linear feature running N-S for c. 200m, showing as cropmark on aerial photographs (CUCAP BGG065, 16 July 1971), possibly an old field boundary. It may be associated with ring-ditches (KK014-006001- to KK014-006006- and KK014-006007-) which lie to the W side and KK014-006006- which lies to the E. It is not visible at ground level.
