Bank on W side (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m) runs c. 9m before gradually petering out at N end. Bank on E side (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.35m) runs N for 31.5m where it is truncated by E-W field boundary. Along inside edge of E bank is area of dumped stones (c. 7.5m E-W; c. 9m N-S), marked at N end by thorn bush. Otherwise interior under grass with no evident burial plots or grave markers.
