Situated in low-lying, poorly-drained pasture. The monument is evident as a circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; Wth 2m; ext H 0.25m) and a flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.15m). There are gaps in the enclosing element at N (Wth 1.4m) and W (Wth 1.5m). The interior is level.
