The National Monuments Service's description
On low rise, in low-lying pasture. Circular area (diam. 36m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.3m), with external fosse (Wth 3.2m) W->SE; fosse is truncated along its outer edge by field boundary and is now used as trackway for farm animals. Bank has been levelled SE->W but is clearly visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP BGJ042). Surviving section of bank has been quarried in places and in places has spoil dumped onto it. Interior is level and under pasture, but with trees covering NW half.
