The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on S bank of stream. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, was levelled in 1996 when nearby field boundaries were removed. Now evident as scarped edge (H 0.5m; Wth 4.1m) NNE->SSE, with external fosse (D 0.25m; Wth 5.9m) ENE->ESE. Steep-sided gully of stream appears to have defined edge of enclosure NNW->NNE.
