The National Monuments Service's description
In wet unimproved pasture, 10m W of a stream. A ring-barrow (LI024-214----) lies 150m to NW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped platform defined by a scarp. Surveyed by the ASI in 2007 and described as a raised roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 26m NNE-SSW; 24m ESE-WNW) defined by a scarp and outer fosse (base Wth 9.5m; D 0.75m) from E-NW. The raised interior (max. H. 2.65m) has a possible ring-barrow in S quadrant. The monument is visible as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork surrounded by a ditch overgrown with rushes on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
